Ophthalmic knife, single-use

Definition

A hand-held manual ophthalmic surgical instrument designed to make precise incisions in the eye and surrounding tissues during ophthalmic surgery. It is typically designed as a one-piece instrument with a sharp, single-edged cutting blade at the distal tip and a handle at the proximal end. It can have a variety of blade edge shapes, e.g., phaco (blunt or sharp), crescent, straight, and micro-phaco (for micro incision cataract surgery). It is usually made of high-grade stainless steel and some types can employ silicon (i.e., a brittle metalloid material) blades. This is a single-use device.
