Instruments for Capsulorrhexis

from Katena

For a Precisely Sized Capsulorrhexis

K5-5071 Utrata Capsulorrhexis Forceps, straight

figure 1

K5-5074 Masket Capsulorrhexis Forceps, vaulted

figure 2

Katena introduces two new capsulorrhexis forceps with landmarks on the anterior
surfaces which can be used to gauge a 5.0mm capsulotomy. The first line is 2.5mm
from the tip and is used to measure the radius (figure 1), while the second line at
5.0mm from the tip (figure 2) can be used to measure the overall diameter of the rhexis.
The triangular tips of the forceps are delicate and can be used to create the initial
capsular tear as well as to grasp the tag during the procedure. The forceps are
available with straight jaws (Utrata) or with vaulted jaws (Masket).

For a Perfectly Centered Capsulorrhexis

K3-7850 Kellen Capsulorrhexis Marker, 6.0mm

K3-7852 Kellen Capsulorrhexis Marker, 5.5mm

In order for an IOL to perform optimally, a precisely sized and accurately centered capsulorrhexis is
essential. This can be a challenging process which is made more difficult if the pupil dilates eccentrically.
To aid with this process a surgeon can use the Kellen Capsulorrhexis Marker. A perfectly centered
mark is created by aligning the tips of four non-marking posts with the limbus and gently pressing
the 5.5mm ring onto the corneal surface. Using the mark as a guide, the surgeon can produce
a centered, predictably sized 5.0mm capsulorrhexis. This instrument is also available with a
6.0mm ring for creating a 5.5mm capsulorrhexis.

Capsule
Polishers

Henderson
MICS Capsule Polisher

K7-4890

In order to achieve excellent long term results in cataract surgery it is

important to remove all of the residual cortex and cellular material from the
capsule. This new cannula is designed to polish all aspects of the capsule
through a micro incision. It features a finely textured 1.25mm disc-shaped
tip which allows the surgeon to gently scrub the anterior, posterior and capsular
fornix surfaces. Its posterior facing 0.3mm port helps to keep the capsule well formed
during polishing.

Shepherd Capsule
Polishing Curette
K3-1102

This curette features a low-profile 2mm ring tip which is beveled on both surfaces. The
semi-sharp edges are used to polish the anterior and posterior portions of the capsule. The
ring design ensures that capsule contact is distributed over a larger surface area, reducing
the chance of inadvertant capsule rupture.

Kraff
Posterior Capsule Polisher
K7-4880

This delicate 1.75mm closed-cup curette is designed to polish and

debride any remaining cells on the posterior surface of the capsule.
Irrigation through the downward facing port keeps the capsular
surface taut for evenly distributed contact with the outer ring.

Instruments for DALK

Barron Vacuum Trephine
This instrument is designed to cut the anterior cornea to an exact depth. The precisely
calibrated rotating trephine mechanism allows the surgeon to advance the blade depth
0.25mm with each 360 rotation.

DALK Corneal Dissector

K3-1870

The tip of this instrument is used to find and maintain the interface plane
during dissection of the stroma. It features a 12mm long flattened, vaulted
spatula with a blunt beveled tip.

Rosenwasser DALK Cannula

anterior

posterior

K7-3595

This cannula features a cobra-shaped

head which seals the channel, aiding in the
pneumatic dissection of the stroma from the
underlying Descemets membrane as the
surgeon forces air through its 0.2mm posterior
port.

Rosenwasser DALK Trisector

K3-1875

The flattened spatulated tip of this instrument aids in any additional

peripheral dissection that might be required following the Big Bubble
technique. Its anterior ridge aids in bisecting the stroma prior to excision.

Katzin Corneal Scissors

These strongly curved scissors are
ideal to excise the stromal tissue
during DALK. The scissors feature an
8mm long upper blade and an 8.5mm
long lower blade.

Aluminum Sterilizing Trays

New Lightweight, Durable, Cost-effective Trays
Katena introduces a new line of sterilizing trays
to protect your delicate microsurgical ophthalmic
instruments. Manufactured from brushed aluminum,
these single-level trays are both durable and
lightweight. Each tray is supplied with a silicone
finger mat which prevents instruments from moving
during transportation and sterilization cycles.
The underside of each mat features a series of
channels that greatly improve air flow during drying
cycles. By allowing air to flow beneath the mat, the
drying process becomes more efficient and thorough.

K9-2320 Instrument Case, small

(206mm X 115mm X 19mm - holds 6-8 instruments)

K9-2330 Instrument Case, medium
(247mm X 206mm X 19mm - holds 10-17 instruments)

K9-2340 Instrument Case, large (shown)
(327mm X 225mm X 25mm - holds 16-20 instruments)

Unique S-channels on the underside of

the mats greatly improve air flow for more
efficient and thorough drying.
