Accutome has introduced the new Donnenfeld LRI Diamond Knife. Developed by Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, the pre-set diamond knife is specifically designed to improve the technique of limbal relaxing incisions at the slit lamp.
The Donnenfeld LRI Diamond Knife features the new titanium "shortie" handle design, which improves the surgeon's control at the slit lamp, the company says. The knife also contains a new, improved winged footplate angled at 15 degrees, which provides better stability, visualization and reduced epithelium drag while making the incision.
The knife, which can also be used in the operating room, can be purchased as part of the Donnenfeld Limbal Relaxing Incision Kit, which also contains the Donnenfeld Nomogram and the Dell LRI Marker. Accutome offers care and handling training for each diamond knife purchased. Call 1 (800) 979-2020 or visit accutome.com.

Rhein says the instrument is ideal for aspheric optic and multifocal lenses where an asymmetric capsular bag causes mild decentration. The overall length of the lens can be increased or decreased approximately 0.5 mm, depending upon where the haptics are adjusted.
The unique micro-tip dimensions provide easy manipulation within the anterior chamber, with a sliding shaft to reduce IOL movement during the procedure. The adjuster is reusable, autoclaveable, made in the
