Buonsanti Dual Hook is a system with a combination of both, an iris retractor and a capsule hook. It is used for simultaneously providing a temporary support to the capsular bag and for temporary retraction of the iris, without making too many incisions.
Both the hooks are combined together with a common adjustable silicon lock, which helps in retaining both the hooks in a retracted position during the surgery.
Iris retractors stretch and stabilize the iris during the surgery while capsule hooks support and stabilize the capsular bag.
Capsule hooks have a compressed bulb shaped tip to avoid any accidental damage to the peripheral capsule and also provide a large support area per hook.
Stem of the capsule hook is bent at an angle from the end in order to make handling of both the hooks easy.
Iris Retractors are made of bright blue coloured fibre and Capsule Hooks are made of black coloured fibre to easily differentiate each hook.
A set of 5 Buonsanti Dual Hooks is packed & sealed in a blister and then in a medical grade peel open pouch.
Buonsanti dual hooks can be used in cases which have both, zonular instability and small pupil size together.
Dual Hook can be inserted together through the same incision, thereby reducing the number of incisions required, while providing the benefits of both the hooks together.
