These specula are designed to hold the eyelids open during ocular examinations or surgical procedures. The KD speculum is small and delicate, specifically designed to fit the anatomy of a mouse or rat eye. It's crucial to have a size that fits the small dimensions of the eye while comfortably holding the eyelids open. The speculum is crafted to be gentle on the delicate tissues of the eye. It is made of a lightweight surgical grade stainless steel. It has a spring-loaded mechanism that allows for easy insertion and proper retention of the eyelids in an open position, maintaining the necessary exposure for the eye examination or procedure.
The KD mouse/rat speculum is easily sterilised by autoclaving or other sterilization methods. This surgical instrument is designed for ease of handling and use by researchers, scientists, or veterinarians performing ophthalmic examinations or procedures on rodents. The KD mouse/rat eye speculum balances the need for a secure and stable eyelid retraction with the requirement for gentleness and minimal interference during ocular examinations or surgical interventions on small animal models.
