Description

* One Piece PMMA ring
* High flexibility and "springiness" due to special design
* ETO sterilized
* MATERIAL - PMMA CQUV
* HEPTIC - 0.20mm

Advantages

* Circular expansion and stabilization of the perifery of the capsular bag
* Reduced risk of capsular fibrosis
* Reduced risk of capsular shrinking
* Safe IOL centration in eyes with zonular dehiscence
* Stabilized conditions during (phaco emulsification) surgery

A capsular tension ring may not hold the bag in place during phaco if the zonules are especially weak. Surgeons sometimes use iris retractors on the rim of the capsulorhexis in order to manage this problem, but iris retractors aren't designed for this purpose. Since the iris retractor comes in at an angle, the hook is not in the plane of the rim to be supported.

In contrast, CapsuleCare is designed such that the hook is angled to be in the plane of the anterior capsule. As a result, it's easy to get a firm and reliable grip on the rim. Further the tip of the hook is rounded to prevent any accidental damage to the peripheral capsule while placing the hooks in the bag. The round tip also provides a larger support area per hook thereby reducing the number of hooks required in each surgery. Once the hooks are placed in position to support the capsule, an endocapsular ring can be inserted.

Advantages

* Maintains the position of the capsule during phaco.
* Supports the fornix as well as the capsulorhexis rim, so that the peripheral capsule isn't attracted towards the phaco tip.
* Avoids the problem of the capsular tension ring trapping cortex.
* Prevents zonular stress during nuclear rotation.
* Makes it possible to perform posterior chamber phaco even with subluxated lenses having minimum zonular support.
* Set of 2 sterile CapuleCare.

The Epinucleus provides a protective cushion for the capsular bag during Phaco Emulsification of the nucleus, thereby protecting the capsule from sharp edges of the phaco needle. Thus capsular injuries are more often encountered during removal of epinucleus rather than nuclear removal. The phaco needle provides an adequate aspiration port (3mm) but there are two disadvantages especially with aspiration of sticky/stubborn epinucleus.

1. The port is situated at the tip of the needle, thus in case of sudden gush of fluid, the posterior capsule can come in contact with the sharp edges of the aspiration port leading to capsular rent.

2. The epinucleus cannot be engaged into aspiration port of phaco needle by going inside the capsular bag. It has to be brought to the center for safe aspiration.

The I/A probe cannot be used for epinucleus removal because the port size is only 0.3mm and the epinucleus is too brittle to be aspirated through a small port. In an epinucleus aspiration probe the port size is large enough for epinucleus aspiration (1mm). It is situated away from the tip which helps in safe aspiration of even the toughest of epinucleus very easily. A very handy instrument to avoid tricky situation in phacoemulsification.

* Preset vacuum and flow rate setting same as for I/A procedure.

* Compatible with all phaco machine tubing.

* Autoclavable.

* Titanium Body.

It is a double ended glide which is very useful in SICS as well as Phaco Surgery.

Phaco glide portion :10mm long x 2.6mm wide,tapered to 1.75mm

IOL glide portion : 20mm long x 5mm wide, 2.5mm radius

The Phaco glide portion protects iris from prolapse or trauma during phacoemulsification and acts as a guide for insertion of instruments. IOL glide portion assists in the implantation of posterior chamber IOLs and in extracting the nucleus during the Bluementhal technique.

* It is also useful in stablising the nucleus in cases of PC rupture.
* Disposable
* Box of ten individually packed glides.
* Sterile.
