ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To develop a more efficient and less traumatic method of Descemet membrane removal in endothelial surgery. METHODS: A novel, vertically oriented, reverse-grasping microforceps (named the Rabiyah Descemet Membrane Removal Microforceps) were created to facilitate grasping and extraction of a host Descemet membrane. RESULTS: This new instrument has been used successfully and safely in more than 85 endothelial keratoplasty cases among 4 surgeons. CONCLUSIONS: The Rabiyah Descemet Membrane Removal Microforceps provides surgeons with a safe and an efficient option to remove Descemet membrane in endothelial surgical procedures.
