Additional Information for Scleral Depressor
Scleral depressors are medical instruments used in ophthalmology. They are specifically designed to gently push or depress the sclera, which is the white outer layer of the eye, during eye examinations or surgical procedures.
Scleral depressors are typically made of stainless steel or other durable materials. They have a long, slender handle with a curved or angled tip that allows for precise manipulation of the sclera. The tip of the depressor is usually smooth and rounded to minimize any discomfort or damage to the eye.
During an eye examination, a scleral depressor is used to hold the eye in place and provide stability while the ophthalmologist or optometrist examines the retina, optic nerve, or other structures at the back of the eye. It helps to keep the eye steady and prevents any involuntary movements that could interfere with the examination.
In surgical procedures, a scleral depressor is used to push the sclera away from the surgical site, providing better access and visibility for the surgeon. It helps to create a clear and stable field of view, allowing for precise surgical maneuvers.
Scleral depressors are essential tools in ophthalmology and are commonly found in medical and surgical instrument sets used by eye care professionals. They are part of the larger supply group of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies, which includes a wide range of instruments, equipment, and consumables used in various medical specialties.
