15° Side Stab Sapphire Blade (C2-15) for Cataract and Corneal Surgery | Precision Ophthalmic Tool

Abstract

The 15° Side Stab Sapphire Blade (C2-15) is a precision surgical tool used in ophthalmic surgeries, particularly for creating side stab incisions in cataract and other corneal surgeries. The blade is crafted from sapphire, offering exceptional sharpness, durability, and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. This study investigates the performance of the C2-15 blade in comparison to traditional steel blades, with a focus on incision accuracy, postoperative recovery, and complication rates.

 
1.Introduction

The 15° Side Stab Sapphire Blade (C2-15) is designed for side stab incisions commonly used in cataract surgery, where precise, controlled cuts are crucial for a successful procedure. Sapphire’s material properties—especially its superior sharpness and resistance to dulling—make the C2-15 blade an excellent choice for minimizing tissue trauma and improving surgical outcomes. This research evaluates the benefits of the C2-15 blade over conventional steel blades in various surgical parameters.
