Tissue Manipulators

Vitreq has launched a new generation of tissue manipulators with retractable tip. “The new retractable tissue manipulators can be be used in cases of retinal disorders to manipulate the retina and retinal fold. It features a retractable silicone tip with a special rib structure to manipulate the retinal surface. The specially designed silicone tip is green coloured for clear visual differentiation with the retinal surface,” said a company spokesman. Vitreq says the silicone tip structure does not have any diamond particles to eliminate the risk of losing particles inside the eye.  www.vitreq.com
