KNAPP DELICATE HOOK 4 TEETH BLUNT 13,5CM

KNAPP LACRIMAL SAC HOOK • 4-TOOTH BLUNT • 13.5 CM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Atraumatic hook for the gentle grasping and manipulation of the lacrimal sac in ophthalmic surgery

The KNAPP Lacrimal Sac Hook 4-tooth blunt 13.5 cm is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This highly specialized precision instrument is designed for the maximally tissue-sparing, atraumatic grasping of the lacrimal sac during procedures on the lacrimal drainage system, particularly in dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 - MDR)
✔ Special 4-tooth, blunt tip for maximally tissue-sparing hold on the delicate lacrimal sac
✔ Optimal length of 13.5 cm for precise work in the deep ophthalmic surgical field
✔ High-quality stainless steel 1.4301/316L – rust-proof, biocompatible and corrosion-resistant
✔ Tested biocompatibility according to ISO 10993
✔ Ultra-light and balanced design for fatigue-free handling
✔ Satinated, non-reflective surface
✔ Autoclavable and reusable

Benefits of the Blunt Lacrimal Sac Hook:

• Maximum Atraumatic: The blunt tooth design minimizes the risk of perforation or injury to the thin-walled lacrimal sac tissue.
• Secure Grasping Without Penetration: Ideal for gentle retraction and presentation without piercing the tissue.
• Optimal for Sensitive Structures: Particularly suitable for thinned, inflamed, or scarred lacrimal sac tissue.
• Precision Work: The fine, long design provides access and manipulation in the confined anatomy of the medial canthus.
• Highest Manufacturing Quality: Crafted for the most demanding microsurgical procedures in ophthalmology.

Fields of Application:

• Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR): For especially gentle grasping and retraction of the lacrimal sac in external and endonasal procedures.
• Lacrimal Surgery: In reconstructions, revision surgeries, or when dealing with fragile/pathological lacrimal sacs.
• Pediatric Lacrimal Surgery: Due to maximum tissue protection, ideal for sensitive structures in children.
• General Ophthalmic Surgery: For atraumatic soft tissue retraction in microsurgical approaches.

Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED OPHTHALMIC SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• The blunt design requires precise, guided application for a secure hold.
• Inspect for damage or bending of the teeth before each use.
• Intended only for the atraumatic grasping of soft tissue (lacrimal sac).
• For reuse, strictly adhere to valid reprocessing guidelines for microsurgical instruments.
