“The projection that fits into the side port is malleable, so that I can bend it and curve it to the proper angle… while being stiff enough so that it rarely gets bent out of shape. The name fits suits it well, as it is a “side port tripod”. Every surgeon who has observed my surgeries have commented on the utility of this instrument. I can actually make an incision while moving the eye and holding the diamond stationary… in reality, I usually move both the eye and the diamond in tandem.”
Singer Triport
$304.00$228.00The Singer Triport can be used as a stabilizer at the limbus and conjunctiva opposite the incision location. Once a paracentesis has been fashioned, it functions as an extremely effective globe fixation device with ‘tongue’ and ‘teeth’. The tongue is inserted into the tunnel and the teeth are in contact with the sclera/limbus/conjunctiva. Unlike fixation forceps, the Singer Triport does not crush tissue or cause subconjunctival hyphemas.
The Singer Triport was designed with Jack Singer, MD (deceased) in the late 1990’s.
