Stealth Fine Triamond, Elite II Micrometer Diamond Knife

Triamond

“The new Inset Profile footplate with 0.3 mm tipped Stealth Triamond is a significant improvement over previous designs for performing LRIs. The closeness of the diamond to the footplate helps to prevent epithelial stripping. The curve of the footplate lines up with the limbus well to facilitate incisions that are parallel to the limbus (which helps give a 1:1 couple ratio of corneal flattening:steepening). The new Inset Profile footplate provides an optimum balance between applanation, visualization, and epithelial protection.” – The late Jack Singer, MD

Elite II Diamond Micrometer

“The Stegmann-Hill Stabilizer diamond knife with the Elite micrometer provides exceptional control and excellent visualization for limbal relaxing incisions, or any number of others uses where a precise vertically oriented diamond blade incision is required.” – Warren E. Hill, MD, FACS, Mesa, AZ

“I have been using Mastel diamonds for many years and currently use a trapezoid blade for bimanual cataract surgery and the Elite II for depth adjusted LRIs. The trapezoid blade make a consistent incision for my bimanual cataract surgery and the Elite II makes a very thin cut in the peripheral cornea for LRIs. It makes a very thin cut with less foreign body sensation compared to other LRI blades I have used. I would recommend these blades to all cataract surgeons and the Elite II is a must for premium IOL surgery to control astigmatism.” – Ray T. Oyakawa, MD, Torrance, CA

“The Elite II Micrometer diamond is finally an AK diamond knife, that we should have had for a long time. In limbal AK it avoids conflicts with the conjunctiva, in all other AKs it provides the final solution to stable alignment during the cut with visibility. I will have to talk to Mastel for an update of all the other footplates I have purchased over time….” – Thomas Neuhann, MD, München, Germany
