Product Overview
The 554048 Retinal Membrane Pick is a hyper-precision ophthalmic microsurgical instrument characterized by its ultra-low profile 0.5mm micro-working tip and a streamlined, micro-incision shaft. Engineered to deliver absolute predictability under high-magnification operating microscopes, this instrument is designed to safely engage, lift, and separate proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) bands, internal limiting membranes (ILM), and epiretinal membranes (ERM). Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the hand-finished 0.5mm micro-tip offers an exceptional blend of structural rigidity and micro-scale geometry. This allows the surgeon to comfortably insinuate the instrument beneath tightly adherent membrane borders, establishing a clean dissection plane without risking focal retinal trauma or micro-lacerations.
Key Features
-
Precision 0.5mm Micro-Tip: Features a micro-machined 0.5mm working end engineered specifically to match the delicate proportions of macular pathology. This ultra-low-profile working zone permits localized control over the finest tissue planes.
-
Atraumatic Micro-Beveled Finish: The tip is hand-polished and micro-beveled to eliminate aggressive edges. This structural configuration safely captures and elevates thin cellular sheets while gliding over the underlying neurosensory layers with ultimate structural safety.
-
Ultra-Slender Micro-Incision Shaft: The forward shaft features an exceptionally low-gauge, streamlined profile. This minimalist structural volume ensures seamless compatibility with standard vitreoretinal cannulas and minimizes visual obstruction, providing an unobstructed line of sight.
-
Exceptional Tactile Feedback: The micro-calibrated rigidity of the instrument shaft transmits ultra-fine changes in tissue resistance directly to the operator, allowing for precise force adjustments when separating stubborn cellular sheets from the macular zone.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise 0.5mm tip geometry, rigid shaft linearity, and calibrated balance through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
