The Meyerhoefer Chalazion Curette FS4-1010 with a size #2 and 2.2mm tip is a specialized surgical instrument used for the treatment of chalazia. Chalazia are small lumps or cysts that develop on the eyelid due to a blocked oil gland.
The FS4-1010 Meyerhoefer Chalazion Curette is designed to fit under the conjunctiva (the thin membrane that covers the white of the eye) to scrape and remove the contents of the chalazion through a small incision in the eyelid. The size #2 and 2.2mm tip of this instrument makes it suitable for accessing and removing chalazia of a certain size and location.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and after the chalazion is removed, the incision is usually closed with a few small stitches. The patient may be given antibiotics and instructed to use warm compresses to aid in the healing process.
The Meyerhoefer Chalazion Curette FS4-1010 is a specialized surgical instrument that requires proper training and experience to use effectively and safely. It is important that the instrument is used by a skilled ophthalmologist or other trained healthcare professional.
