The 18mm Flieringa Scleral Fixation Ring is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for providing a stable platform during scleral fixation procedures, particularly for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation or scleral suturing. Its slightly smaller diameter compared to the standard 19mm version allows enhanced adaptability for tighter scleral anatomy or smaller surgical sites, maintaining optimal tissue support.
With an overall length of 18mm, this fixation ring provides a defined support profile for ophthalmic applications. The design allows the working end to approach the sclera from a specialized angle, supporting controlled manual manipulation during procedures.
