More Information
Summary:A surgical device comprising a handle 14 for releasable attachment to a cartridge 1, which may comprise a hollow interior that is open at both ends, with end 6 attached to the handle. The cartridge is adapted to hold an endothelial corneal implant in a scrolled or double coiled configuration. The handle has a forward end for releasable attachment to the cartridge, a rearward end and a gripping portion 60 between said forward and rearward ends. The gripping portion is substantially planar so as to facilitate being gripped between a finger and a thumb. The handle incorporates a flexible fluid (or gas) tube 61 for releasable connection 16 to the cartridge at the forward end of the handle. A fluid bulb may be incorporated into the tube, mounted on the handle. Fluid may be supplied by a syringe 62. The device is suitable for use in Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
