Hardten Illuminated Iris Retractor Probe (TR9809-11/TR9809-61*)

Eliminates harmful UV Light Clarifies red tissue images and membranes The VitLiteTMI light source produces daylight illumination to enhance intraocular visualization, photography and videography. With an effective color temperature of 5000°K minimum, the white light improves definition of tissue images. The VitLiteTMI combines a low energy halide arc lamp with patented trek technology to make illumination appear whiter. Harmful UV and IR light are virtually eliminated to produce strictly visible light from 420 nanometers to 700 nanometers. Compare the VitLiteTMI with your present light source and see the difference.

Escalon's series of fiber optic light probes accommodate a variety of procedural needs, from straight light pipes to picks to knives. A wide angle probe is also available to provide illumination throughout the posterior chamber. Two other probe styles have been recently introduced: the Hutton/Anderson lens fragment retriever probe and the Hardten iris retractor probe, which provide illumination and unique tip configurations for more dynamic and complete management of vitreous in the anterior chamber. The probes can connect directly to Trek and Greishaber style light sources (-61 series) or to most other brands of light sources (-11 series with use of appropriate adaptor (see below)). The superior quality of Escalon's fiber optic light probes enables you to see the difference.
