Clear Corneal Knives

Clear Corneal Knives are made using a chemical etching process that creates this ultra sharp blade, producing a double bevel perfectly suited to clear corneal incisions. The geometry allows high maneuverability for crafting the phaco self-sealing corneal tunnel.

Clear Corneal Incision – Lens and Cataract, Surgery

Currently the most popular entrance site for phacoemulsification cataract surgeries and intraocular lens implantations. These clear corneal wounds usually are self-sealing, and do not induce astigmatism as they heal.
They have minimal risk of bleeding.

Initially, a groove incision is created at the anterior edge of the vascular arcade
Using clear corneal knives, a CCI is made by depressing the posterior edge of the groove. While maintaining a parallel position to the surface of the cornea, the tip of the keratome is then advanced approximately 2 mm and turned posteriorly to perforate Descemet’s membrane. The resultant 3-mm or slightly smaller incision is usually sufficient for proceeding emulsification and implanting a foldable intraocular lens
