Algerbrush II with 0.5,mm Burr
Product Description
Foreign bodies in the eye can leave rust rings when removed. The ALGERBRUSH II is used for the express purpose of removing these rust rings from the eye of a patient. These rust rings are normally caused by a ferrous foreign body accidentally striking the cornea or sclera of the patient. When the foreign body (usually from a spark produced by a grinding wheel or welding torch) strikes the eye it sticks to the eye and eventually produces rust when combining with the moisture in the eye. The unit has a very low torque motor powered by a single AA battery. The burr in this rotary instrument is used as a “brush” rather than a drill and the rust ring is thus “brushed” from the cornea or sclera leaving a smooth surface which in turn heals quickly.
Algerbrush II starts easily with a spin and turns off when stopped. Used correctly, the gentle spin will not harm corneal tissue. Provides long life battery with no switch to corrode. Available with either 0.5mm or 1 mm carbide burr. Burrs are interchangeable and measured in mm.
New Universal Chuck (5224x) fits both Algerbrush I and II units.
