Clinical Application
Provides secure, stable retraction of the upper and lower eyelids to maintain exposure of the surgical field during ophthalmic procedures. The graduated ratchet and dual tip widths support fine control of the palpebral fissure for procedures requiring a steady, hands-free opening such as anterior segment surgery, cataract surgery, vitreoretinal procedures, oculoplastic work around the lid margin, and laser or diagnostic interventions where consistent exposure is required.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's scale ratchet permits incremental, lockable adjustment of lid separation with tactile feedback so the surgeon can set and maintain an exact opening without continuous manual tension. Dual tip widths (2 mm and 4 mm) provide options to minimize contact area and pressure on the lid margin or to accommodate larger apertures when needed. The overall 24 cm length offers extended reach and ergonomic handling in a microsurgical setup, facilitating access under operating microscopes and allowing assistants to position or exchange instruments without disturbing the exposure.
