| Is the ink sterile and ophthalmic safe? RUMEX markers are sterile and intended for ophthalmic or skin-marking application. Confirm sterility and other indications on the product label. How long do marks remain visible? Visibility depends on the ink, tissue surface, moisture, preparation solution, and time elapsed. When used directly on the eye for axis identification, toric lens alignment, or incision placement, the marks typically remain visible for 2 to 4 hours. Can the pen be used on conjunctiva or only skin? No, standard surgical marking pens should not be used directly on the conjunctiva. While ophthalmic pens are routinely used on the skin (periocular) and the cornea or sclera, they are generally avoided on the conjunctiva. Are fine-tip options available? Yes, our marking pens have fine tips. Is each pen single-use? Sterile surgical marking pens are single-use. Check the label and do not reuse a device labeled for single-patient use. |
