Product Description
Buonsanti Dual Hook is a system with a combination of both, an iris retractor and a capsule hook. It is used for simultaneously providing a temporary support to the capsular bag and for temporary retraction of the iris, without making too many incisions.
Features:
- Both the hooks are combined together with a common adjustable silicon lock, which helps in retaining both the hooks in a retracted position during the surgery.
- Iris retractors stretch and stabilize the iris during the surgery while capsule hooks support and stabilize the capsular bag.
- Capsule hooks have a compressed bulb shaped tip to avoid any accidental damage to the peripheral capsule and also provide a large support area per hook.
- Stem of the capsule hook is bent at an angle from the end in order to make handling of both the hooks easy.
- Iris Retractors are made of bright blue coloured fibre and Capsule Hooks are made of black coloured fibre to easily differentiate each hook.
- A set of 5 Buonsanti Dual Hooks is packed & sealed in a blister and then in a medical grade peel open pouch.
Indications:
- Iris Retractors provides temporary retraction (pupil dilation) of the iris where dilation cannot be achieved pharmacologically.
- Capsule Hooks provide temporary support to the capsular bag when the zonules are weak or in case of subluxated lenses.
- Capsule Hooks maintain the position of the capsule during phaco.
- Capsule Hooks support the fornix as well as the capsulorhexis rim, so that the peripheral capsule isn’t attracted towards the phaco tip.
- Capsule Hooks avoid the problem of the capsular tension ring trapping cortex.
- Capsule Hooks prevent zonular stress during nuclear rotation.
- Capsule Hooks make it possible to perform posterior chamber phaco even with subluxated lenses having minimum zonular support.
Advantages:
- Buonsanti dual hooks can be used in cases which have both, zonular instability and small pupil size together.
- Dual Hook can be inserted together through the same incision, thereby reducing the number of incisions required, while providing the benefits of both the hooks together.
- Easy to insert and remove.
