In ophthalmology, surgical instruments come into direct contact with the eye, and postoperative endophthalmitis is irreversible. Yet ophthalmic instruments — capsulorrhexis forceps, Vannas scissors, fine-gauge cannulas — are also small, delicate, and costly: a poorly executed reprocessing cycle not only compromises sterility but also ruins the cutting edges and closure of expensive pieces. Viscoelastic residues that are not removed prior to the cycle become fixed by the heat of the autoclave. In this category you will find the equipment and supplies to cover the complete workflow — cleaning, drying, packaging, sterilization, and cycle verification — with the rigor demanded by an ophthalmic center.
