Vitreoretinal Micro Instruments
Subretinal and ILM Instruments
- VR-1035 Long Angled Scissors
- Sharp tipped horizontal style scissors with thin blades angled 135°, 3.5mm from the tip
- Long, thin blades allow access through retinotomy for cutting and dissection in the subretinal space. Smooth angle minimizes risk of damage at heel. Excellent for cutting retinal adhesions during translocation procedures. Also great for cutting vitreous traction during en bloc resections for diabetic traction detachment cases
- VR-1036 Angled Long Gripping Forceps
- Delicate forceps with jaws angled 135°, 3mm from the tip
- Long thin jaws are ideal for grasping subretinal membranes through a small retinotomy. Smooth curved surface at heel to reduce possible damage to the choroid during use
- VR-1037 Fine Gripping Forceps
- Fine 3.5mm long jaws with small platform at each tip
- Blunt tipped forceps with small angled platforms for precise grasping of thin membranes near the macula. Angled platforms enable gripping directly from the retina surface while allowing good visualization at the tips. Excellent for ILM peeling
- VR-1038 Ducournau Fine Gripping Forceps
- Delicate forceps angled 120°, 3.5mm from the tip
- Long thin jaws are ideal for grasping subretinal membranes through a small
retinotomy. Tip has a small pick for accurate grasping of membranes without damage to surrounding
tissue. Ideal for pinch peeling in macular pucker cases. Smooth curved surface at heel to
reduce possible trauma during use
* Developed in collaboration with Didier Ducournau, M.D., Nantes, France 
- VR-1050
Naito ILM Forceps
VR-1350 Naito ILM Forceps (Titanium Jaws) - Fine 3.3mm long jaws with a 0.7mm pick at the tip
- Designed to enable picking and peeling of the ILM. Shaft and tip have a non-glare
finish to reduce reflected light from the microscope
* Developed in collaboration with Dr. Naito, Assistant Professor, Tokushima University Hospital, Japan 
- VR-1051 Naito Subretinal Forceps
- Very delicate long forceps angled 135°, 4.5mm from the tip
- Long thin jaws allow the surgeon to grasp neovascular membranes without damage
to the surrounding tissue. Long jaws allow access deep into the subretinal space. Shaft and
tip have a non-glare finish to reduce reflected light from the microscope
* Developed in collaboration with Dr. Naito, Assistant Professor, Tokushima University Hospital, Japan 
- VR-1053 Delicate Grasping Forceps
- Delicate 3.5 long, straight forceps with fine platform at each tip
- Very delicate forceps for precise grasping of thin membranes in the macular
region, particularly in cases with detached retina. The jaws taper toward the tip for improved
visualization. Excellent for ILM peeling.
* Developed in collaboration with Professor Jean-Paul Berrod, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Nancy, France
