Clear Corneal Knives
Superior Wound ArchitectureTapered bevels are designed to bend and incise tissue, resulting in a straight incision that is more self-sealing.
Blade ProfileThinner blade is designed for minimal effect on astigmatism, and to promote re-epithelialization. Short blade length reduces risk of induced trauma.
Unique Patented Width/Depth Indicators1.5mm 1.75mm and 2.0mm act as visual reference when changing planes during an incision.

The BenefitBecause the cutting edge of the Clear Corneal knife does not follow the plane of the blade, the knife compensates for corneal curvature, giving a squarer, more self sealing incision.
