Instruments for retinal
detachment
| (The following instruments are
designed for retinal detachment repaired. Instruments for vitrectomy are
not shown here.) |

Gass scleral indenter.
This is a modified scleral indenter. It is used to position
over the hole while examining the retina using an indirect ophthalmoscope.
Indentation gives a ring mark on the sclera. The centre of the mark is
then marked with a blue ink. The accuracy of the hole is checked by reindenting
the spot with a forcep and indirect ophthalmoscopy.
Once the location of the hole is reaffirmed, the scleral
buckling can be used to indent the hole. |

Watzke forceps.
This is used to stretch a silicone ring so that the two
ends of the silicone band can be passed through during scleral buckling. |
