Product Overview
The Foreign Body Spuds are specially designed for the safe and efficient removal of superficial foreign bodies — including metal particles, glass fragments, wood splinters, and other embedded materials — from the corneal and ocular surface during ophthalmic clinical and surgical procedures. Their precisely shaped spud blades allow clinicians to approach embedded foreign bodies at an optimal angle, gently loosening and dislodging the material from the corneal stroma with minimal trauma to surrounding corneal epithelial and stromal tissue throughout each foreign body removal procedure.
Manufactured from high-grade German surgical stainless steel, these foreign body spuds are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and fully reusable after sterilization. Available in four distinct blade configurations — La Force, Francis flag-shaped, Dix beveled tip, and Davis flat slightly curved — they provide clinicians and surgeons with a comprehensive range of spud blade geometries to accommodate varying foreign body types, embedding depths, corneal locations, and individual procedural preferences across the full spectrum of ophthalmic foreign body removal scenarios.
Key Features of the Foreign Body Spuds:
• Precisely shaped spud blades for safe, atraumatic loosening and dislodgement of superficial corneal and ocular foreign bodies
• Available in four distinct blade configurations for versatile foreign body removal across varying types and embedding locations
