The Titanium Katzen LASIK Flap Unzipper is a surgical instrument used in ophthalmology for the treatment of certain complications that may occur during or after LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) surgery.
During LASIK surgery, a thin flap is created in the cornea using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser. In some cases, the flap may become detached or wrinkled, leading to a condition called “flap striae.” In such cases, the Katzen LASIK Flap Unzipper is used to reposition or smooth out the flap to restore clear vision.
The instrument is designed to gently lift the edge of the corneal flap and create a small opening through which the surgeon can introduce a spatula or other instrument to manipulate the flap. The titanium construction of the instrument provides strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, making it a reliable and long-lasting tool for ophthalmic surgery.
