Designed for intraoperative management of weakened or compromised zonules, the MST Capsule Retractors stabilize the capsular bag during the cataract procedure. Inserted similarly to iris hooks, the four capsule retractors act like artificial zonules once in place. The MST Capsule Retractors provide the following benefits:
Better stability. Where iris hooks would only pull on the capsulorhexis margin, the MST Capsule Retractors have extended posterior tabs that are designed to reach the equator of the bag and provide you ultimate support.
Gentle contact. The MST Capsule Retractors features a loop at the distal end of the posterior tab. This minimizes the risk of puncturing the capsule by providing you with a broad area of contact, rather than focalizing all of the tension to one point.
Ease of insertion. The MST Capsule Retractors are designed from double-banded nylon to provide lateral stability to further ease placement.
MST Capsule Retractors, Chang Modification
Dr. Chang, M. D.’s new design closed the loop on the posterior tab of the device so there is still a broad point of contact on the capsule but the risk of entanglement with a CTR is minimized. The MST Capsule Retractors, Chang Modification provide you the following benefits:
Plays nice with others. By closing down the loop on the posterior side of the device, we minimized the risk of a CTR becoming entangled. These retractors still provide broad contact on the capsule and are actually even easier to insert than before.
Adjusted angles. Because of its unique geometry, the posterior side of the retractor sits parallel to the iris plane during retraction and will not pull toward the incision.
