The Meyerhoefer Chalazion Curette S4-1005 is a surgical instrument used in ophthalmology for the treatment of chalazia. A chalazion is a small lump or swelling that forms on the eyelid, usually as a result of a blocked oil gland.
The S4-1005 Meyerhoefer Chalazion Curette is specifically designed to remove the contents of a chalazion through a small incision in the eyelid. The instrument has a small, sharp, spoon-shaped tip that is inserted through the incision and used to scrape and scoop out the hardened oil and debris that make up the chalazion.
The use of the Meyerhoefer Chalazion Curette is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the procedure is relatively quick and straightforward. After the chalazion is removed, the incision is typically closed with a few small stitches, and the patient may be given antibiotics and instructed to use warm compresses to aid in the healing process.
