ICRS eye surgery (Intracorneal Ring Segments) is based on implanting small transparent plastic rings into the cornea's middle layer to reshape it, primarily for keratoconus, improving vision by flattening the cone shape and reducing reliance on glasses or contacts. Dedicated instruments for ICRS include ICRS knife, a tunnel maker for ICRS, spatulas, forceps and specialized markers for accurate centration.

| FAQ |
|---|
| Which instruments are required for manual ICRS channel creation? A manual ICRS set typically includes corneal markers, a fixation device, depth gauge, incision knife, lamellar dissectors, channel spreaders, ring-segment forceps, and insertion instruments. Are femtosecond-compatible tools available? Tools for marking, segment insertion, and post-laser channel handling may be used with femtosecond-created channels when compatible with the chosen implant system. What markers help define the tunnel axis and optical zone? Corneal center markers, degree markers, and axis markers may be used to guide placement. Which forceps are used to insert ring segments? Fine, atraumatic segment-holding forceps or dedicated insertion forceps are generally used to control the ring segment without damaging it. How is tunnel depth controlled? Depth is controlled by the planned percentage of corneal thickness, pachymetry, depth gauges, mechanical depth settings, or femtosecond laser parameters. Are complete ICRS sets available? Instruments may be ordered from RUMEX in complete or configurable ICRS sets or individually. |
