Spuds

The LaForce foreign body spud is engineered for safe removal of corneal and conjunctival foreign bodies without perforating delicate tissue planes. The flat-handle geometry provides secure grip control, while the straight design permits precise anterior approach and tissue-plane dissection during careful removal.

Features & Benefits

• Straight geometry enables precise corneal approach
• Flat handle design supports secure operative grip
• Designed for foreign body dissection and removal
• 121mm length permits comfortable bimanual control

Davis foreign body spuds carry a sharp round blade for lifting corneal and conjunctival foreign bodies � embedded metal, glass, or organic debris � from the ocular surface without ploughing surrounding epithelium. The serrated flat handle gives the surgeon fingertip control during the brief, precise lifting motion. Overall length is 125mm.

Features & Benefits

• Sharp round blade lifts embedded corneal foreign bodies
• Straight profile enters under the foreign body cleanly
• Serrated flat handle steadies the fingertip lift
• 125mm length supports controlled slit‑lamp use

The Dix eye spud is used to lift corneal and conjunctival foreign bodies away from the ocular surface. Its small spud‑shaped tip slides beneath the foreign body to dislodge it without driving the object deeper into the cornea. Stainless‑steel construction supports the routine sterilization expected in ophthalmic clinic and OR settings.

Features & Benefits

• Spud‑shaped tip lifts corneal foreign bodies cleanly
• Slides beneath the object without deepening penetration
• Compact format suits clinic and minor procedure use
• Stainless‑steel build endures repeat sterilization

Designed for safe storage between uses, this Dix foreign body spud screws each working tip into the opposite end of the handle when not in service, sheathing the delicate points. The double‑ended needle and spud configuration addresses corneal foreign body removal with the appropriate tool selectable in seconds.

Features & Benefits

• Tips screw into handle ends for protected storage
• Double‑ended needle and spud format for tip selection
• Stainless‑steel build supports repeat reprocessing
• Compact format suits ophthalmic emergency trays

The Ellis foreign body spud delivers precise removal of corneal and conjunctival foreign material with its 1mm curved-up blade and flat handle. The 117mm overall length provides optimal reach and control, while the gentle curve enhances visibility and minimizes scleral trauma during penetrating extractions. Stainless steel construction and smooth finish ensure safe tissue interaction.

Features & Benefits

• 1mm curved-up blade for precise foreign body entry
• Flat handle supports controlled intraoperative manipulation
• 117mm length enables optimal visualization and access
• Smooth stainless steel finish for atraumatic tissue work

The Ellis foreign body spud lifts embedded foreign material from the corneal surface during slit‑lamp removal. Its small curved rounded blade scoops cleanly beneath rust rings and superficial particles while sparing the surrounding epithelium. A serrated flat handle and polished finish round out a tool sized for steady seated use.

Features & Benefits

• Small curved rounded blade for atraumatic foreign body lift
• Rounded edge spares surrounding corneal epithelium
• Serrated flat handle supports a steady seated grip
• 121mm length suits slit‑lamp working distance

The foreign body spud features a lance-shaped gently curved tip for atraumatic engagement and elevation of superficial corneal foreign bodies. The serrated flat handle provides steady grip control during the delicate removal procedure, while the curved geometry allows approach from multiple angles without conjunctival contact. At 121mm, this instrument supports precise anterior surface work.

Features & Benefits

• Lance-shaped gently curved tip prevents tissue trauma
• Serrated flat handle improves tactile control
• 121mm length supports corneal access
• Curved design enables multidirectional approach

Designed for foreign body removal from the corneal surface, this Francis spud combines a flat sharp tip with a flat handle for stable two‑finger control. The 120mm overall length keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the visual axis during slit‑lamp work. Polished stainless steel resists corrosion across repeat sterilization cycles.

Features & Benefits

• Flat sharp tip for corneal foreign body removal
• Flat handle for stable two‑finger control
• 120mm length keeps hand clear of optical path
• Stainless steel resists corrosion across reprocessing

Golf‑club spud with a small angled tip and sharp edge, designed to scoop out superficial corneal foreign bodies and rust rings. The flat serrated handle gives a steady pencil‑grip during the fine excursion, and the sharp leading edge releases embedded debris without gouging stroma.

Features & Benefits

• Golf‑club tip scoops superficial corneal foreign bodies
• Sharp leading edge releases rust rings cleanly
• Flat serrated handle supports pencil‑grip control
• 119mm length keeps tip within microscope focus
