Lieberman K-Wire Lid Speculum, Temporal Approach — Overview

The Lieberman K-Wire Lid Speculum, Temporal Approach (S1-560-ls2 family) mirrors the nasal-approach version in blade design, sizing, and material options — 10mm and 15mm, stainless steel or titanium — but with the arm geometry reversed so the instrument body sits nasally, leaving the temporal quadrant of the orbit clear.

Temporal Configuration

With the body positioned nasally, the temporal quadrant is left clear for a second instrument or the surgeon's primary working hand in temporal-incision cataract surgery and similar approaches, giving surgeons who favor the Lieberman K-wire blade geometry a matched temporal-configuration option alongside the nasal-approach version.

K-Wire Blade, Two Sizes

The same 10mm and 15mm K-wire blade options as the nasal-approach version, offering the same gentle, low-mass wire contact profile for routine adult anterior segment and cataract surgery.

Materials

Available in stainless steel, for durable general use, or titanium, for reduced weight and enhanced long-term corrosion resistance.

Clinical Use

This speculum is used in general adult cataract and anterior segment surgery performed via a temporal approach, by surgeons who specifically favor the Lieberman K-wire blade geometry.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable in both material options. Routine pre-use inspection for wire deformation, arm alignment, and spring tension is standard practice.
