Description

Sklar's Feaster Wire Speculum is an ophthalmic instrument used to retain the eyelids open, often during cataract or phacoemulsification procedures. It is utilized to provide the surgeon with increased visualization and access to the surgical site. This speculum is lightweight 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 a wire speculum will not provide enough force to open the lids sufficiently, a speculum with a screw mechanism may be used. This product is an adult eye speculum with extra-large, commonly 20mm, solid blades. The overall length is 1-1/2 inches.
