The Titanium Buratto Flap Protector is a surgical instrument used in ophthalmology during LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) surgery or other corneal procedures where a corneal flap is created.
During LASIK surgery, a thin flap is created in the cornea using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser, and the flap is lifted to allow access to the underlying corneal tissue for the application of the laser. The Buratto Flap Protector is used to protect the corneal flap during the procedure, reducing the risk of flap dislocation or damage.
The instrument is designed to fit over the corneal flap and hold it in place, while the laser or other surgical instrument is applied to the underlying tissue. The titanium construction of the instrument provides strength and durability, while the delicate design ensures that the flap is not damaged during the surgery.
The Buratto Flap Protector is an important tool for ophthalmologists and other eye surgeons who perform LASIK surgery, as it helps to ensure the safety and success of the procedure.
