Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is a Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier used for?
A: The Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier is a special ophthalmological tool for the scraping of the corneal surface or “scarification”. It is mainly used to remove foreign bodies from the cornea or prepare the corneal bed for some of the surgical procedures which involve the removal of the necrotic or infected tissue from the cornea with utmost precision.
Q: What is the length of Grey Medical’s Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier?
A: Grey Medical’s Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier is 4-½” (11.5 cm). Its tip is small and shaped like a mushroom and is uniquely designed to allow the surgeon to remove the cornea without him or her accidentally poking through it, due to its sharp edges and rounded surface.
Q: How does a Corneal Scarifier differ from other retractors?
A: The difference is in the tip geometry. The “Golf Club” type of spud uses a flat, angled blade for picking up and lifting under a foreign object while the “Kuhnt” type of scarifier uses a broader, rounded “mushroom” head. This gives a flatter surface for scraping off larger sections of the epithelial debris or multiple small sections at once.
Q: What is the Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier made from?
A: The Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier is made from premium German stainless steel, to ensure that the instrument is resistant to corrosion, has a long lifetime, and can be sterilised in an autoclave using standard sterilisation cycles.
Q: Can the Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier be autoclaved?
A: Yes. The Grey Medical Kuhnt Corneal Scarifier is completely autoclavable and safe to use in steam sterilisation (134°C / 273°F) for multiple uses in a sterile environment.
