Kelman-McPherson Tying Forceps
standard pattern, smooth jaws, 7.5 mm tying platform, angled, 3-1/8" (8.0 cm)?Kelman-McPherson Tying Forceps are a useful tool in ophthalmologic procedures, particularly cataract surgeries. The smooth tips are ideal for handling the anterior capsular flap during removal of the native lens as well as handling both 8-0 and 11-0 sutures. In addition, the 7.5 mm tying platform provides the surgeon handling of both tissue and suturing equipment. The ribbed handle provides a more ergonomic grip during the procedure.
Kelman-McPherson Tying Forceps – Wide Handle
very delicate, wide handle, smooth jaws, 7.5 mm tying platform, angled, 3-3/4" (9.5 cm)?Kelman-McPherson Tying Forceps are a useful tool in ophthalmologic procedures, particularly cataract surgeries. The smooth, very delicate tips are perfect for fine handling of the capsular flap during removal of the native lens as well as handling both 8-0 and 11-0 sutures. In addition, finger holes on the handle allow the surgeon to adjust grip during the operation.
Kimura Platinum Spatula
4.0 mm x 17.5 mm flat platinum spatula with 34.0 mm shaft, 5-3/4" (14.5 cm)?Kimura Platinum Spatula is a commonly used tool for eye pathologies. The spatula is commonly used to obtain conjunctival scrapings. The tip of the spatula is designed to typically run along the inferior palpebral conjunctiva without causing excess tissue damage or irritation.
Kirby Intra-Capsular Lens Loop
long, slender loop, 5-1/2" (14.0 cm)?Kirby Intra-capsular Lens Loop is a commonly used tool during cataract and lens extraction procedures. The loop is used to hold the lens in place to prevent it from falling back into the vitreous and for eventual extraction. The slender loop design minimizes obstruction during the procedure.
Knapp Eye Speculum
blades 14.0 mm wide, spread 60.0 mm, 3-3/8" (8.5 cm)?Knapp Eye Speculum is a frequently used tool in visualizing the globe during ophthalmologic procedures. The open wire design minimizes tissue damage while still providing adequate retraction. The speculum is designed to accommodate up to a 60.0 mm spread with a locking screw to hold in place.
Knolle Anterior Chamber Irrigating Cannula
irrigating ports at 12, 10 & 2 o'clock, 23-gauge, overall length tip to hub 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) Knolle Anterior Chamber Cannula is a frequently used tool in cataract extraction procedures. The small gauge cannula with angled tip is nimble enough to fit into a small limbal incision accessing the anterior chamber. It may be used to aspirate fluid within the anterior chamber exposing the lens capsule.
Knolle Iris Hook
0.5 mm hook, 4-7/8" (12.4 cm)?Knolle Iris Hook is a commonly used tool in cataract surgeries. The hook is used to retract a portion of the iris tissue to gain access to the lens capsule. Often, multiple hooks are used at different positions around the iris and anchored, providing adequate visualization for lens removal. The Knolle hook has a slender tip for more selective retraction while featuring a serrated handle for an improved grip.
Knolle Lens Nucleus Spatula & Gauge
30 mm blade, with marking at 5 mm, 6 mm & 7 mm from tip, 5" (12.7 cm)?Knolle Lens Spatula & Gauge is a useful tool for cataract procedures and other ophthalmologic procedures involving the lens. The spatula may be used to handle the nucleus during extraction or rotation. The gauge feature on the lens allows the surgeon to track the depth of the tool during the procedure.
Knolle-Pearce Irrigating Lens Loop
1.0 mm tip, angled 30 degrees, sandblasted, 23-gauge, 3/4" (2.0 cm)Knolle-Pearce Irrigating Lens Loop is a useful tool for cataract and lens extraction procedures. The loop is instated between the nucleus and the posterior capsule; fluid is allowed to pass into this space to allow for easier removal of the lens. Three irrigation ports provide ample fluid distribution.
Koch Stop & Chop Manipulator
angled shaft w/ 1.5 mm tip, 4-1/3" (11.2 cm)?Koch Stop & Chop Manipulator is a tool used exclusively for cataract procedures. The manipulator is used to facilitate the stop and chop technique, in which the lens nucleus is initially sculpted and then chopped into smaller pieces for extraction. The angled shaft aids in accessing the lens capsule.
Kraff Capsule Tag Forceps
11.0 mm angled jaws, 15.0 mm smooth platform, 4" (10.0 cm)?Kraff Capsule Tag Forceps are a commonly used tool in cataract in IOL implantation procedures. The 11.0 mm angled jaws are ideal for handling tags of the capsule created by an incision. The jaws are delicate enough to prevent unwanted radial tears and capsulo-dialysis. The ribbed handle with finger holes provides a firm, adjustable grip during the operation.
Kratz Capsule Scraper
shaft w/ sharp top, shaft angled 60 degrees, 12.0 mm tip from angle to tip, 22-gauge, 1/2"?Kratz Capusle Scraper is a useful tool in phacoemulsification procedures. The sandblasted tip is designed to scrape the surface of the posterior capsule to remove and cellular debris following aspiration of the nucleus.
