Kratz Barraquer Wire Speculum Eye Speculum

Kratz Barraquer Speculum is Ophthalmic instrument. An eye speculum is used to open the eyelids, often during cataract or phacoemulsification procedures. This wire speculum is utilized to provide the surgeon with increased visualization and access to the surgical area. This speculum weighs 5 grams and, as is preferable, does not put a great deal of pressure on the globe. To a degree, the surgeon can increase the tension of the instrument by manipulating the wire where the speculum is held, as it is slightly malleable. In situations where this product will not provide enough force to open the lids sufficiently, a speculum with a screw mechanism may be used. The overall length is 1-3/4 inches.
