An ophthalmic Algerbrush is a handheld, battery-powered diamond burr commonly used to gently debride superficial corneal tissue, most often during pterygium and rust ring removal after a contact with a metallic foreign body. This tool, sometimes referred to as a corneal burr, features a small rotating tip that allows precise smoothing of the affected corneal area. RUMEX offers various sizes of replaceable rust ring and ophthalmology burrs enabling the doctor to select the most appropriate option for each case.
