The Safety Slit Knife is a specialized, single-use ophthalmic instrument designed for creating precise corneal and scleral incisions during procedures like cataract surgery. Unlike general-purpose knives, it features a unique triangular blade with cutting edges on both sides for superior control. Its spring-loaded, self-retracting safety mechanism ensures the blade automatically withdraws after use, drastically reducing the risk of accidental sharps injuries for the surgical team. With practical features like a depth guide line and sterile, ready-to-use packaging, it combines precision, safety, and convenience for critical ophthalmic surgery.

Features

• Automatic Safety Retraction: A spring-loaded mechanism ensures the blade automatically and irreversibly retracts after the incision, minimizing the risk of needlestick injuries during and after the procedure.
• Dual-Edged Precision Blade: Features a specialized triangular tip with cutting surfaces on both sides, allowing for clean, controlled, and precise cuts in corneal and scleral tissue.
• Integrated Depth Guidance: Includes a visual guide line and a marked label (e.g., at 2.0 mm) on specific models to assist surgeons in achieving consistent and accurate incision depths.
• Sterile & Single-Use: Each knife is sterilized using Gamma irradiation and is intended for single use, guaranteeing optimal asepsis and eliminating cross-contamination risks.
• Ergonomic & Reliable: Designed for secure handling and smooth blade deployment, providing the stability needed for meticulous ophthalmic microsurgery.
