Eyeball fixation instruments are reusable surgical tools designed to stabilize the eye during procedures like cataract surgery or retinal detachment repairs. Their ring-shaped distal end gently grips the sclera (eye’s white outer layer) while the handle allows precise manual control by the surgeon, ensuring steady positioning during delicate operations.
These devices are typically classified as surgical instruments and regulated under medical device laws, requiring compliance with sterilization, durability, and safety standards. They are often supplied as part of a surgical kit or as standalone reusable tools, with manufacturers specifying cleaning and reprocessing protocols to maintain sterility between uses.
