Moria's Latest DSAEK Tools
Moria's One Corneal Vacuum Punch for DSAEK surgery is a disposable, ultra-sharp razor trephine that produces precise, straight-walled cuts, the company says. The two-piece, sterile device—equipped with a pre-loaded, recessed blade—is available in 8- or 9-mm sizes.
The company has also released the Ogawa Inserting Forceps for donor lamella insertion. The forceps avoid compression along the fold and can be used right- and left-handed. The tips do not become embedded in the stromal surface for easier donor tissue release inside the eye, and the angled handle is designed for an easy grip.

Storz Products for Cataract Surgery
Bausch & Lomb's Storz line has added the Mackool Cataract Support Hooks for patients with poor zonular support during routine phaco. In cases of extreme zonular weakness, individual retractors are inserted to capture margins of capsulorhexis. Gradual tightening of each retractor provides excellent fixation of capsular sac and fornices. After cortex removal, an endocapsular ring is inserted, and the support system is removed through the phaco incision. 
The Eghbali Bandage Lens Forceps feature broad circular tips that are ideal for placing and removing the bandage lens over the corneal surface. The tips' thin profile allows easy insertion under the edge of the lens for improved control.
The Brown Dissection Cannula is designed for effective execution of the flip technique. The angled cannula's broad olive tip is designed to provide a stable surface to flip the cataract in the capsular bag and into the anterior chamber.

Advancut's Safety Blade

Gulden System Fights Germs
Gulden has released its GermControl Touch-less Hand Sanitizing Unit and GermStar Instant Hand Sanitizing Solution. The unit employs an infrared sensor to initiate dispensing of the disinfecting solution when hands are positioned near the nozzle. The touch-less design prevents cross- and re-contamination from occurring. The user can adjust the solution's dispensing volume, and the unit's gravity dispenser does not use a motor, avoiding wear.
According to Gulden, the GermStar solution kills 99.99 percent of most disease-causing microorganisms. It is self-evaporating and leaves no residue. Call (215) 884-8105 or visit guldenophthalmics.com.
Reichert's Advantage Tilt Chair
Reichert's Advantage Tilt Chair provides comfortable, one-handed patient positioning at any inclination between upright and supine. The sealed hydraulic system is operated by a release switch located on the backrest control panel. A stop switch is used for transitional positioning. The 350-degree rotating chair features arm rests that swing upward, a positive-locking headrest that supports the patient through the recline range and a large footrest for easy chair access.
