Kreissig Scleral Depressor: Precision for Peripheral Retinal Examination

The Kreissig scleral depressor is a critical instrument for comprehensive peripheral retinal examinations in ophthalmology. Designed with a double-ended configuration, it features angled conical tips measuring 2.4mm in diameter and curved bars of 6.0mm width. This specific geometry allows clinicians to effectively indent the sclera, bringing the far periphery into view without causing excessive patient discomfort or corneal abrasion. The 12.5 cm length provides optimal leverage and control during delicate procedures. Ideal for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics, this tool ensures accurate visualization of the vitreous base and peripheral retina, facilitating early detection of tears, detachments, and lattice degeneration.

• Visualizing the peripheral retina during dilated fundus exams
• Identifying retinal tears, holes, or lattice degeneration
• Assisting in laser photocoagulation procedures
• Evaluating vitreous traction at the ora serrata

Specifications

• Clean immediately after use to prevent biological material from drying on the surface.
• Inspect regularly for corrosion, pitting, or tip deformation that could compromise patient safety.
• Follow standard sterilization protocols appropriate for reusable ophthalmic instruments.
