Dick IOL haptic expander 5 1/2 21 gauge curved shaft round squeeze handle

Controlled Handling for IOL Haptic Expansion

The Dick IOL haptic expander is designed for controlled manipulation and expansion of intraocular lens haptics during instrument handling. Its 5 1/2-inch length provides practical reach, while the curved shaft supports access and positioning around the working area. A 21-gauge profile and round squeeze handle contribute to a focused, hand-operated design for precise instrument control. The squeeze-style actuation allows the user to regulate opening and closing through familiar finger pressure, supporting deliberate handling during lens-related workflows. This configuration combines targeted reach, curved access, and a compact control interface in one specialized instrument.

Use Cases

• Expand or manipulate IOL haptics using the instrument's designated expander form.
• Position and handle lens haptics where a curved shaft can support access to the working area.
• Use the round squeeze handle for controlled opening and closing during instrument manipulation.
• Apply the 5 1/2-inch overall length when additional working reach is useful for lens-related handling.
