Surgical Drain
Specifications
The Surgical Drain provides a well drained operation field and avoids the need for suction
| Features | |
|---|---|
| Lintfree | |
| Continuously drains all surplus liquid form the operation field | |
| The absorptive function is maintained when placed under the lidholder | |
| Provides three times the absorption capacity, and twice the speed of drop formation against other sponge materials | |
| Excellent solution for drainage of surplus liquid in deep set eyes during phaco surgery | |
| Surgical procedure | |
|---|---|
| Before use, the Surgical Drain should be primed by moistening | |
| The Surgical Drain is inserted beneath the upper and lower lidholder, and drains fluid by capillary action and gravity into a collecting pouch | |
| A short cut off length of the strip can be placed on the cornea during suturing to protect the macula from excessive exposure to the light of the microscope | |
| Technical data | |
|---|---|
| Made of cellulose | |

Surgical Sponge
Specifications
The Surgical Sponge offers several practical advantages over conventional sponges for a number of surgical applications
| Features | |
|---|---|
| The special design of the Surgical Sponge keeps a firm body during absorption: two plastic "wings" protrude over the sides at the point of fixation to support the sponge materia | |
| The tip of the sponge allows the surgeon to perform lintfree surgery | |
| It is especially useful for corneal preparation in Excimer Laser surgery (epithelial cell ablation) | |
| Stem, handle and hook of the Surgical Sponge are made from extruded blue K-resin | |
| Compared to conventional sponge handles, the extra long Surgical Sponge handle keeps the assistant's hands away from the field of the operating microscope | |
| Hexagonal handle provides an optimal grip | |
| Serves as handy retractor or muscle hook | |
