How It Compares

Choose the Schocket when you want a hand held depressor and a marking end in one instrument. The Josephberg Besser double ended follows the same double ended layout with a curved tip shaped to the globe. The Schepens is the thimble alternative, and the O'Connor pairs a teardrop depressor end with a fine Gass marking end.

Clinical Use

Scleral depression during indirect ophthalmoscopy, retinal examination and retinal surgery, pressing gently on the sclera through the lid to bring the peripheral retina into view.

Material and Construction

Surgical grade stainless steel, hand finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a smooth, atraumatic tip.

Sterilization and Care

Supplied non-sterile. Clean and sterilize it before first use. It is fully autoclavable and made for repeated use. Rinse it straight after use, clean it with a neutral pH detergent, and never use saline or abrasive cleaners. Inspect the tip before each use: it must be smooth, with no burr or scratch. See our instrument care guide.
