Corneal trephines are single-use surgical tools used in eye procedures to precisely cut circular sections of the cornea or sclera. They prepare tissue for corneal transplants by creating uniform grafts from living patients or donor tissue, ensuring compatibility and proper fit for surgical reconstruction.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring sterile packaging and compliance with ophthalmic surgical standards. They may be sold as standalone blades or as part of a powered or manual handpiece system, depending on the surgical technique and facility preferences.
