Kuhnt Corneal Knife

Description

Kuhnt Corneal Knife

The Kuhnt corneal knife is a classic pattern named for Hermann Kuhnt, a German surgeon known for lid and conjunctival work. This reusable steel blade suits fine corneal incisions. We list one form without size options.

A German Classic

Kuhnt’s name lives on in several eye procedures and tools. This knife is part of that legacy. It keeps a traditional outline and a slim handle. So it suits surgeons who like the feel of reusable steel.

What to Expect From Kuhnt

• One form only; no sizes listed.
• Reusable steel blade on a slim handle.
• Outline shown in the photos.
• Ships without sterile packing.

Matching Outline to Technique

Our range includes Gill, Took, Paton and many more. Each has its own outline. Therefore, compare the photos side by side. Then pick the shape that best matches your technique.

Manual Brushing Done Right

Brush along the blade from handle to tip, never across the edge. Use a soft nylon brush under the water line. That keeps splashes down and protects the edge. Afterward, rinse and dry the knife at once.

When to Retire a Knife

Every blade wears out in time. So set clear rules for when to stop using one. For example, retire it after a visible nick, a bend or a stain you cannot remove. A spare makes that choice easy.

Kuhnt and Lid Surgery

Kuhnt is best known for lid and conjunctival methods. However, this knife is a corneal pattern. So do not confuse it with lid tools that share his name. Instead, judge it by the blade outline in the photos.

Kuhnt Cover and Links

We do not sterilize the Kuhnt before dispatch. Therefore, run it through cleaning and steam on arrival, then again after each use. Kuhnt knives carry three years against manufacturing defects from the order date. Our stainless steel follows ASTM F899. See the ophthalmic instrument range or the Dean corneal knife.
