Ocular Instruments Layden Suture Lysis Laser Lens

The Layden Suture Lysis Lens is used to sever subconjunctival nylon sutures in post-operative situations such as trabeculectomy flap sutures that are too tight to allow filtration and cataract wound sutures causing astigmatism.

• The lens compresses the overlying conjunctival vessels allowing sharp visualization and laser cutting of sutures. 
  
• 1.6mm diameter tip simplifies locating and lasering sutures in patients with dark or highly pigmented sclera. 
  
• Useful in pressing on the side of the trabeculectomy flap or on the flap itself to cause it to pop open once the laser has lysed the suture. 
  
• Lens compresses the thick conjunctival tenons tissue, clears blood, and gives the view of the suture.
