Limbal Relaxing
Incision (LRI) by Bruce Wallace, MD
Wallace Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI) "Kit"
allows separate sterilizing capability in order that
instruments may be used at the time when limbal relaxing
incisions are clinically indicated.
Bruce
Wallace, MD, uses this Limbal Relaxing Incision Kit
which consists of a Diamond Knife, a Mendez Degree
Gauge and sterilizing tray. 0.12mm toothed colibri
forceps are also used, purchase separately.
The
Wallace LRI Diamond Knife has a 600 micron preset
depth blade with a single footplate that allows you
to visualize your path as you pass the knife through
the cornea. 550 and 500 micron preset blade depths
are also available. The knife handle is thin and
streamlined for finger twirling as the blade follows
the accurate pattern of the limbus.
The Wallace Mendez Degree Gauge features 10°
interval marks (designed for surgeons familiar with
use of a standard phoropter) which orientate where
the axis are and the intended incision will be. The
toothed colibri forceps are designed for marking the
cornea for the axis initially, and then the borders
of the intended incision. Then the forceps aid the
fixation of the globe during an LRI procedure.
