The spreader is used to stretch the silicone sleeve placed around the eyeball to bring the wall and the detached retina closer. The smooth 90 degree jaws allow for adjustable tension to accommodate various patient sizes.
Lancaster Speculum
blades 15.0 mm, spread 35.0 mm, 3-1/8" (8.0 cm)?Lancaster Speculum is a commonly used tool for visualizing the ophthalmologic surgical field. The solid blades are designed for more controlled retraction of the lids and minimize the chance of tissue obstruction. In addition, an adjustment screw is provided to increase control during the procedure.
