Femto Lid Speculum, Flat 15mm Wire Blades With Locking Screw — Overview

The Femto Lid Speculum with flat 15mm wire blades and a locking screw (S1-530-90) is another laser-platform-oriented eyelid retractor, combining a flattened wire blade profile with a locking screw mechanism to hold a fixed 15mm spread securely during femtosecond laser docking and treatment.

Flat Wire Blade Profile

Unlike a rounded wire loop, this design uses a flattened wire blade, giving a broader, lower-profile contact surface against the lid margin while keeping the wire's characteristic light weight and reduced pressure compared with a solid blade. The flatter profile is intended to keep as low and unobtrusive a footprint as possible around the eye, which matters when a laser docking cone or suction ring needs to interface with the ocular surface without obstruction.

Locking Screw at 15mm

The locking screw mechanism secures the blade spread at a fixed 15mm width, ensuring the retraction does not drift or loosen during the docking and treatment sequence of a femtosecond laser procedure — a period where consistent, unchanging exposure matters more than in much of conventional manual surgery, since the laser system's calibration assumes a stable ocular surface position.

Clinical Use

This speculum is used in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and similar laser platforms, as an alternative or complement to the Crozafon design, for surgeons or facilities that specifically want the flat wire blade profile and fixed-width locking feature.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with the flattened wire blade and locking mechanism integrated into a single-piece frame designed for laser-platform compatibility.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. The locking screw should be checked for smooth, secure operation before each use, and the flat wire blades inspected for deformation, in addition to standard spring tension checks.
