摘要
The Fugo Blade (TM) is a battery-powered electrosurgical device to perform anterior capsulotomy for cataract surgery, employing an incising filament as thick as a human hair With this US food and Drug Administration-approved unit, surgeons can perform anterior capsulotomy without the need of viscoelastic or a red reflex, as well as enlarge the anterior capsulotomy with radial or arcuate incisions into the capsulotomy margin, Multi-mini-sphincterotomies far small pupils and iridotomies are off-label rises.
