This indicates a very fine and precise blade, suitable for creating small, self-sealing incisions in the eye. Type: MVR Ophthalmic Scleral Knife. MVR (Micro Vitreoretinal) Knife: These knives are specialized for making precise, watertight incisions in the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye) for procedures in the posterior segment (vitreous and retina). Scleral Knife: Designed for making incisions in the sclera. Cannula Compatible: This means the knife is sized to pass smoothly through a 23-gauge trocar​/​cannula system, which is a common approach in modern minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgery. Tip Style: While not explicitly stated in all search results, MVR knives typically feature a "V-lance" or similar pointed, sharp tip designed for clean and controlled penetration. Color-coding: Some listings refer to it as "orange," suggesting a color-coded handle or packaging for easy identification. Usage: Sterile, Single-Use. This is standard for ophthalmic surgical instruments to ensure sterility and optimal sharpness. Packaging: Commonly sold in boxes of 6 units. Common Uses in Ophthalmic Surgery: The Alcon 8065912301 MVR Scleral Knife is primarily used in: Vitreoretinal Surgery: This is its main application. It's used to create the initial entry ports (sclerotomies) in the sclera for the introduction of other instruments, such as vitrectors, endoilluminators, and laser probes, during procedures like vitrectomy for retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, or macular hole repair. The small, self-sealing nature of the incision created by a 23-gauge MVR knife helps maintain intraocular pressure and reduce post-operative complications. Side Port Creation in Cataract Surgery: While its primary role is in vitreoretinal surgery, MVR knives are also commonly employed to create precise "side ports" in the sclera or clear cornea during cataract surgery. These side ports allow for the introduction of secondary instruments (e.g., choppers, manipulators) and for irrigation​/​aspiration, without requiring a larger primary incision. Why MVR Knives are Essential: Minimally Invasive: The fine gauge and sharp tip enable the creation of very small incisions, which are less traumatic, lead to faster healing, and often eliminate the need for sutures. Watertight Incisions: The design often creates a "self-sealing" incision due to the architecture of the blade and the elasticity of the sclera, which helps maintain intraocular pressure during surgery. Precision and Control: The sharpness and specific geometry of MVR blades provide surgeons with excellent control during the critical step of entering the eye.
