A corneoscleral punch is a surgical tool used in eye procedures to precisely remove a circular tissue sample from the cornea or sclera. It is primarily employed during corneal transplant surgeries, such as keratoplasty, to prepare donor grafts or create recipient beds for implantation.
These devices are typically reusable and designed for manual use, featuring sharp, hollow tips activated by a handle mechanism. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to medical device standards for safety and performance in ophthalmic procedures.
