How to Use Sterilization Trays for Safe and Effective Sterilization of Instruments

Sterilization is a very important process in surgery. It is a method of killing all possible contaminants like microorganisms in instruments. The contaminants are living organisms, which includes spores that may have been harbored by a particular instrument.

How to Do Precise Extraction With Capsulorhexis Forceps

Capsulorhexis is the surgical removal of the lens capsule affected by cataract. Removing the lenses is a delicate procedure. The incision along the lens capsule needs to be deep enough to allow the entry of forceps to grab the lens and remove it. Creating an incision should be shallow enough to avoid injuring the iris

How Can Ophthalmologists Improve Cataract Surgeries?

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly-performed ophthalmic procedures. Every year, approximately 10 million individuals around the world undergo cataract surgery. While the prevalence of this operation has afforded many ophthalmologists the opportunity to gain experience and confidence, there are still always opportunities to improve surgical performance.

Biometry-Based Concentric Tubes Robot for Vitreoretinal Surgery

Abstract—Vitreoretinal surgery requires dexterous manoeu-vres of tiny surgical tools in the confined cavity of the human eye through incisions made on the sclera. The fulcrum effect stemming from these incisions limits the safely reachable intra-ocular workspace and may result in scleral stress and collision with the intraocular lens. This paper proposes a concentric tube robot for panretinal interventions without risking scleral or lens damage.

How to Use Alger Brush To Effectively Clean The Eyes

An alger brush is specifically designed for removing rust rings on the corneal surface. It has a burr attached to a rotating instrument, which has a motor with very low torque. The motor utilizes a centrifugal force that rotates the burrs in a slow and well-controlled manner. It removes the rust ring by brushing of the corneal surface until all rust rings are removed. In this way, the corneal surface is left smooth, which facilitates healing faster and without any residual damage.

What Instruments Are Used in Microsurgery?

Microsurgery is a revolutionary method of repairing and transferring small body tissues such as blood vessels and nerves. This type of surgery requires the use of a microscope to see very small structures during the surgical procedure. The involved body tissues are so small that they are very difficult to manipulate using unaided vision. Consequently, the instruments used should also allow greater access and maneuverability.
