Product Overview
The 554047 Retinal Membrane Pick is a hyper-precision ophthalmic microsurgical instrument characterized by its specialized 110° angled micro-tip and an ultra-slender, micro-incision shaft. Engineered to deliver absolute predictability under high-magnification operating microscopes, this instrument is explicitly designed to optimize approach vectors when engaging proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) bands, internal limiting membranes (ILM), and epiretinal membranes (ERM). Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the 0.5mm tip features a deliberate 110-degree back-angle. This unique geometric configuration allows the surgeon to comfortably hook, lift, and slide under tightly adherent membrane edges from an anatomically superior position, establishing a clean dissection plane without applying downward or traumatic pressure onto the underlying neurosensory macular layers.
Key Features
-
Optimized 110° Angled Geometry: Features a precise 110-degree back-angled tip configuration. This specialized angle facilitates an optimal approach vector, allowing the operator to insinuate the instrument underneath flat membrane borders with minimal hand manipulation.
-
Precision 0.5mm Tip Length: The micro-machined pick extension measures exactly 0.5mm, providing a highly localized, ultra-low-profile working zone engineered to match the delicate proportions of macular pathology.
-
Atraumatic Hand-Polished Architecture: The tip is meticulously micro-beveled and finished with a non-piercing, hand-polished profile. This design ensures that while the pick efficiently grabs fine membrane edges, it glides over the retinal surface safely to minimize the risk of underlying tissue trauma.
-
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.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise 110° angle, 0.5mm tip alignment, and rigid shaft linearity through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
