| FAQ |
|---|
| Which instruments should be included in a retina set? A retina set typically includes trocar cannulas, forceps, scissors, backflush instruments, soft-tip cannulas, membrane scrapers, picks, spatulas, and infusion instruments. What gauge platforms are supported? Common supported platforms include 20-, 23-, 25-, and 27-gauge, depending on the range. Are backflush instruments and accessories available? Yes, backflush instruments, silicone soft-tip cannulas, and membrane-management tools are available from RUMEX. Which tools are used for membrane peeling? Membrane peeling may use end-gripping forceps, asymmetric forceps, picks, scrapers, spatulas, and dye-assisted visualization according to the surgeon’s technique. Are disposable posterior instruments available? Yes, disposable sterile posterior-segment instruments are available on the Disposable Posterior page. How are instruments selected for macular versus peripheral retinal work? Macular work typically requires fine, highly controlled tips, while peripheral work may require longer, curved, angled, or more robust instruments. Selection also depends on gauge and surgical access. |
