Guyton-Lundsgaard Eye Knife
The Guyton-Lundsgaard eye knife joins two names from eye surgery history. The pattern is usually linked to scleral incisions rather than corneal work. We offer it in one reusable steel form, shown clearly in the photos.
Two Names, One Pattern
Jack Guyton was an American eye surgeon, while Lundsgaard came from the Danish school. Their names now sit together on this blade. Even so, the history matters less than the shape. Check the outline in the photos against your needs.
Scleral Work Needs a Firm Blade
The sclera is tougher than the cornea. So a blade for scleral entry needs a firm, steady feel. A reusable steel handle helps with that. In addition, it lets you keep the same balance from case to case.
Before You Order
- One pattern is listed, with no size options.
- Look closely at the blade outline in the photos.
- Compare it with the single-name Lundsgaard knife.
- Plan a guard for tray storage.
Opening the Parcel
When the knife arrives, check it before it joins a set. Look at the blade under magnification and run a gloved finger along the handle. If anything looks wrong, contact us before first use. Then log it into your instrument records.
Rotating a Spare
Scleral blades work hard, so a spare is useful. Rotate the two so each sees similar use. Meanwhile, keep notes on cycles and any edge wear. That record tells you when one needs to leave service.
Our Pledge and Links
This combined pattern comes without sterile packing. Before first use, clean and steam it, and repeat that between cases for a long working life. The Guyton-Lundsgaard pattern has three years against manufacturing defects behind it. We source stainless steel to suit ASTM F899. See the eye surgery collection or the Lundsgaard pattern. Our FAQ section may help too.
