OP-BLADE Precision that starts the surgery right.
The first cut decides the rest of the case. OP-BLADE is engineered to deliver predictable entry, controlled tissue interaction, and confident handling across cataract and anterior segment workflows.
Edge inspection
Light only where the steel is sharpened.
Each OP-BLADE family is drawn from its production outline. A streak of reflected light runs along the edges that are ground to cut and stops where the steel is left blunt. Switch to the Safety version to see the guard sleeve, or inspect the edge up close.

Engineered geometry, professional packaging, and surgeon-ready presentation.
Two families. One surgical language.
Some surgeons want uninterrupted tactile feedback. Others want extra safety around blade exposure. OP-BLADE supports both preferences with clear, purpose-built families.
Ophthalmic Knives
Direct tactile feedback with full blade exposure for surgeons who prefer uninterrupted cutting geometry and maximum control over incision dynamics.
Ophthalmic Safety Knives
Guarded variants designed to enhance handling confidence and reduce unintended blade contact, while preserving incision quality.
A complete ophthalmic knife range
Each profile is described in the language surgeons use: entry, access, dissection, extension, point, corneal.
Keratome
Designed for predictable tunnel architecture and stable chamber dynamics. Used to create clean entry with controlled incision geometry.
Side Port / MVR
Micro-entry blade profiles for controlled paracentesis and auxiliary port creation with minimal tissue distortion.
Crescent
Supports smooth lamellar dissection with reduced drag, improving control over depth and tissue plane separation.
Enlarger
Controlled wound enlargement geometry refined for clean extension without tearing when precise widening is needed.
Spear point
Sharp point geometry for precise initial penetration with minimal force, supporting confident and controlled entry.
Clear Corneal
Corneal incision profiles refined for repeatability and controlled entry, supporting consistent wound creation.
OT-ready, documentation-ready
Clear product presentation, consistent packaging, and strong documentation support for partner workflows.
Individually packed sterile format for surgical workflow compatibility.
Consistent edge performance and infection control expectations.
Standard and Safety variants for different surgeon preferences.
Keratome, Side Port / MVR, Crescent, Enlarger, Lance Tip, Clear Corneal.
