Prof. Lars-Olof Hattenbach
What makes my hybrid instrument set special is the ability to perform the entire suture fixation directly within the anterior chamber. The tube-guided 25-gauge instruments support precise, atraumatic work with maximum tissue protection. Thanks to their specially adapted geometry, the needle can be guided safely and with control – without externalizing it.
Challenge
The complexity of iris suturing techniques demands the utmost precision. Classical techniques often reach their limits: the instruments used, which are often too large, frequently lead to instability or increased tissue trauma.
Solution
The hybrid set allows for a complete maneuver within the anterior chamber without externalization, atraumatically. It combines forceps, scissors, and needle holder – perfectly matched to the microneedle.
Primary application areas of the hybrid instrument set
- Iris defects or trauma
- Fixation of IOL
- Refixation in IOL luxation
- Zonulolysis placement of a knot within the anterior chamber
- Bi-manual suture techniques with NanoEdge®
Advantages of hybrid instruments by Hattenbach
The hybrid instruments enable safe, controlled iris suturing with minimal tissue trauma – a perfect combination for anterior segment microsurgery.
1. The 35° angle of the lumen allows for optimal maneuverability in the anterior chamber.
2. A slim 25-gauge diameter allows for bimanual, atraumatic operation.
3. Extra-short 2 mm needle enables intraocular sutures without externalizing
