Murdoch-Slade FemtoSecond Laser Lid Speculum — Overview

The Murdoch-Slade FemtoSecond Laser Lid Speculum (SA-790-64) is a nasal-approach retractor built for laser platforms, with a 7cm overall length, a locking mechanism, and a 20mm open wire blade sized for adult use — another entry in this range's family of femtosecond-compatible specula alongside the Crozafon, Femto, Lieberman, and Varley designs.

Locking Mechanism for Laser Stability

Unlike some of the other laser-compatible specula in this range that rely on spring tension alone, this design adds a locking mechanism, fixing the blade spread securely for the duration of the laser docking and treatment sequence — useful given how much femtosecond platforms depend on a stable, unchanging ocular surface position once calibrated.

20mm Open Wire Blade

The 20mm open wire blade gives wide exposure with a low-mass, unobtrusive profile suited to accommodating the laser docking cone or suction ring without interference, matching the blade size used on the Crozafon design within this laser-compatible family.

Clinical Use

This speculum is used in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, giving facilities offering laser platforms a locking, wide-exposure option within their laser-compatible speculum inventory.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with the locking mechanism and open wire blade integrated for laser-platform compatibility.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. The locking mechanism should be checked for smooth, secure operation, and the open wire blade for burrs, before each use.
