Ophthalmic surgical instrument handle, pneumatic

39 devices · GMDN 47787

An ophthalmic surgical instrument handle, pneumatic, is a single-use, sterile device used during eye surgery to control and activate surgical tips like scissors or forceps. It relies on compressed gas—triggered by a foot pedal—to power precise cutting, grasping, or tissue manipulation in the anterior or posterior segment of the eye, enhancing surgical precision and efficiency.

These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical instruments, often requiring compliance with sterilization standards and pneumatic safety protocols. They are supplied pre-sterilized and connected to a gas source via tubing, ensuring compatibility with specific surgical tips for specialized procedures.
