The serrated edge of this reusable Stabilizing Plate applies pressure to the globe to add firmness and stability while inserting 25 gauge or 23 gauge trocar/cannulas for vitrectomy. The slot is aligned to measure an approximate distance of 3.5mm from the limbus which is the targeted pars plana zone. The center opening of the plate is large enough to insert the trocar/cannulas at an appropriate angle while keeping the eye steady and firm. This instrument makes it easier for doctors to transition to the smaller gauge vitrectomy procedures and is adaptable to right or left hand use.
