The Titanium Thornton Fixation Ring FT1-1211A is a specialized surgical instrument used in ophthalmology for the fixation of the eye during surgical procedures such as vitrectomies. The ring is designed to be placed around the eye and secured in place with small hooks, allowing for stable and secure positioning of the eye during surgery.
The fixation ring is made of high-quality titanium, which is a lightweight and durable material that is biocompatible with the human body. The 105mm overall length of the ring allows for easy placement and removal during surgical procedures.
During a vitrectomy, for example, the fixation ring is used to stabilize the eye and keep it in place while the surgeon removes the vitreous gel from the center of the eye. This procedure is often used to treat a variety of conditions, such as retinal detachment, macular holes, and diabetic retinopathy.
