Frequently asked questions
Is the anatomical design optimized for scleral protection?
Yes. The Crouch Corneal Shield is specifically engineered with 23.5 x 25.8 mm dimensions to ensure the device rests securely on the sclera. This design is critical for bridging the cornea to prevent direct pressure, contact, or accidental abrasion during surgical procedures.
Are these shields compatible with standard medical forceps?
Absolutely. The shield is designed for efficient placement and removal using standard E1500 Bishop-Harmon forceps. The integrated handle allows for a secure, controlled grip during your procedure.
Is each unit provided in sterile packaging?
Yes. To maintain strict aseptic conditions in surgical environments, each shield is individually packaged and sterile, ensuring it is ready for immediate clinical use upon opening.
Is this device intended for multiple uses?
No, this is a single-patient-use medical device. This design ensures maximum hygiene and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between procedures.
What material is the shield constructed from?
The shield is manufactured from high-quality, durable medical-grade plastic. It features a smooth, low-profile, and concave shape designed to conform comfortably to the eye’s natural curvature.
Is this shield suitable for adult patients?
Yes, this model (E5699) is specifically sized in an adult configuration to ensure the correct anatomical fit for standard ocular procedures.
How does the shield minimize the risk of corneal injury?
By resting exclusively on the sclera rather than the sensitive cornea, the shield acts as a protective barrier. This specific geometric design protects the corneal surface from instruments or direct pressure throughout the surgery.
Does the shield have a handle for easy manipulation?
Yes, the convex side of the shield features a prominent, raised triangular handle (fin). This is specifically designed to provide a secure and stable grasp point for your forceps during both insertion and extraction.
Is this a Bausch & Lomb authentic product?
Yes, this is an authentic Bausch & Lomb product, model number E5699, supplied in factory-new condition to ensure the high standard of precision required for oculoplastic surgery.
Does the shield have a low-profile design?
Yes, the device features a minimalist, low-profile silhouette. This refined geometry is intended to facilitate ease of use for the surgeon while providing optimal protection for the patient.
