B.P. Handles & Blade Breaker
B.P. Handles & Blade Breaker — ophthalmic surgical instruments from OscarTech UK, manufactured to clinical standards.
About our B.P. Handles & Blade Breaker range
What's in this range
Scalpel handles sized for micro blades used in ophthalmic surgery, plus Troutman and Castroviejo blade breakers and holders for handling and snapping fragment blades.
About the patterns
Scalpel handles here are sized specifically for the small blades used in corneal and cataract work, not general-purpose surgical blades. A blade breaker and holder lets the surgeon snap a fragment (razor-style) blade to a precise, controlled cutting edge, and then holds that fragment securely for use - the Troutman pattern is the smaller of the two, Castroviejo the larger.
Used with
Blade fragments held this way are often used for corneal incisions alongside corneal knives and dissectors.
