An ophthalmic surgical probe, single-use is a slender, hand-held instrument used during eye surgery to explore, measure, or manipulate ocular tissues such as the retina, lens, or foreign bodies. It is designed for tasks like retraction, lens nucleus splitting, or lifting LASIK flaps but is not intended to cut tissue or hook muscles.
As a single-use device, it is supplied sterile and intended for one procedure only, then discarded. Regulatory oversight focuses on its design, materials, and sterility to ensure patient safety, with classification determined by jurisdiction based on risk associated with its use in intraocular procedures.
