A microirrigator.

Abstract

The need for a microirrigator and the requirements for one are outlined. The method of construction is described. This instrument has been used in a variety of situations, both experimental and clinical, for nerve and vessel repairs. Probably its greatest value has been as an irrigating probe, both for hydrostatic dilatation of vessels and for floating away small clots of blood.

Three ophthalmological instruments: the rotating contact glass holder, the cutying forceps and the diamond cystotome.

Three new ophthalmological instruments are described: a rotating contact glass holder for easier control of the three-mirror Goldmann or other diagnostic contact lens which must be rotated on the eye; a suture-tying forceps combined with a sapphire blade, combining the tying and cutting functions in one instrument and a diamond cystotome for anterior capsulectomy with a cutting edge of unequalled sharpness.
