Brown Intacs Forceps<\/h3>\n

This forceps was designed specifically to insert the Intacs micro insert. Unlike the original forceps which required awkward hand and wrist movements, this forceps has been designed to permit insertion with simple finger rotation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Brown Intacs Pocket Starter<\/h3>\n

The Brown Intacs Pocket Starter is used to initiate a quick dual pocket by placement at the base of the incision with simple rotation. It effectively eliminates three steps of the original procedure and helps protect the epithelium from damage. Many surgeons have found that it has other uses in procedures such as LASEK.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\"Brown<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Brown Lasek Butterfly Trephine<\/h3>\n

The Brown LASEK Butterfly Trephine was designed to simplify the butterfly technique. Instead of the surgeon having to score the corneal epithelium, the butterfly trephine provides a scoring mark that spares the visual axis. This allows the creation of two hemi-flaps instead of one larger flap, simplifying the procedure and reducing epithelial manipulation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\"Brown<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Brown Lasek Cannula<\/h3>\n

The LASEK Cannula was designed to combine the epithelial rehydration step with the epithelial repositor step. Now both steps can be done at once with the repositor having a cannula design permitting irrigation while repositing the epithelium.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\"Brown<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Brown Lasek Nested Trephine<\/h3>\n

The Nested Trephine was designed to combine two steps of the original LASEK procedure into one. Instead of trephining the epithelium and then having to line up the alcohol well as a separate step, the well and trephine are nested together. This allows them to be placed on the cornea as one unit. Once the trephination is done, the trephine is simply lifted out of the preplaced alcohol well which is already in perfect position for alcohol placement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Brown Limbal Relaxing Incision Guide<\/h3>\n

The LRI Guide provides a fixation ring to hold the eye with an angled internal surface to be used as a guide for the diamond knife. This allows beautiful arcuate limbal relaxing incisions. The ring is opened in the Thorton fashion and comes with axis markings to allow for planning the axis of astigmatic treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Brown Modular Adjustable Speculum<\/h3>\n

The Modular Speculum is the surgeon\u2019s equivalent of an \u201cerector set\u201d for speculum design. Instead of having to obtain multiple different speculum devices for different surgeries, the surgeon can now combine whatever retractors are desired in tremendously varying combinations to satisfy any surgical need.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\"Brown<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Brown Swivel Toric Marker<\/h3>\n

Using the weighted Gimbal principle, the Swivel Marker allows from one to eight arcurate registration marks to be placed on the cornea prior to LASIK, LASEK, or other refractive surgery procedures. The marks also allow precise replacement of the LASIK or LASEK flap. The Swivel Toric Marker combines the benefits of the Swivel and Toric Marker in a weighted Gimbal mechanism.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Brown-Grabow Capsular Rhexis Forceps<\/h3>\n

This is the original \u201cin the wound cross-action capsularrhexis forceps\u201d. This was designed by Dr. Brown four years before similar designs were available by other companies. Like the Nucleus Cracker, it prevents loss of viscoelastic and thereby maintains anterior chamber stability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

A.W. Brown Nucleus Cracker<\/h3>\n

Reverse action instrument designed to insert in the groove cut into the nucleus by the phacoemulsification tip. The paddle tips provide a firm purchase on the nucleus halves. Squeezing the handle spreads the tips to crack the nucleus. During the cracking procedure, the pivot is in the incision providing increased flexibility in positioning the instrument tips and reduces the possibility of anterior chamber collapse. Blue titanium finish for reduced glare. Overall length 90mm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Brown Seton Inserter<\/h3>\n

Designed for insertion of the seton into the anterior chamber during placement of several popular glaucoma devices. The forceps is calibrated in millimeters for ease of gauging the depth of seton placement. Angulated tip provides comfortable hand positioning during implantation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brown Intacs Forceps This forceps was designed specifically to insert the Intacs micro insert.
