PicoDiamond™ Black Diamond and Sapphire Surgical Knives for Ophthalmic Surgery Now Available from RICA Surgical Products
Schiller Park, IL, June 30, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Two new lines of surgical knives with blades created from man-made diamonds and sapphires are now available from RICA Surgical Products. Designed for ophthalmic applications, the knives are precision surgical instruments, and are cost-effective and high quality replacements for traditional natural diamond and stainless steel scalpels.
Synthetic diamonds, known as black diamonds due to their jet black appearance, share key surgical attributes with natural diamonds. The hard material makes it possible to hold extremely sharp edges.
Synthetic sapphires also share key surgical attributes with natural diamonds. Sapphire knives are sharp and transparent, and suitable for many surgical applications where diamonds were traditionally preferred. In some applications, sapphire knives can prove to be economical replacements for stainless steel blades.
PicoDiamond Black Diamond knife blades are available in an assortment of sizes for lancet, double lancet, and round blade (crescent) configurations, and ship with straight or elbow titanium locking “J” handles (standard) and autoclavable instrument cases.
Sapphire knife blades are available in an assortment of sizes for lancet, double lancet, round (crescent), clear cornea, tri-facet, and trapezoid double lancet configurations, and ship with straight or elbow titanium locking “J” handles (standard).
“Diamond knives have been the preferred choice of many surgeons for years. PicoDiamond and sapphire knives offer many of the same benefits at a lower cost of acquisition and service,” said Ben Haak, VP of Marketing for RICA Surgical Products. “In fact, purchase prices of these new technology knives are frequently lower than the servicing cost for natural diamonds.”
Surgeons interested in evaluating these knives may contact RICA Surgical Products at 1-800-889-3218 for details on a trial program and for introductory pricing.
