The Finesse Reflex Handle is used for retinal operations on the eye that require a high degree of fine motor control from the surgeon. The device is an advanced version of previous models, but with smaller dimensions and a reduced weight. In addition, the handle does not have to be squeezed as hard to close the tweezers at the tip of the instrument. At the same time, the cylindrical shape allows the handle to be rotated by 360 degrees in the hand, while the shorter end piece prevents collision with the surgical microscope. The grooved structure and finger notch also provide improved stability.
Statement by the Jury
The special design of the Finesse Reflex Handle is ergonomically and functionally sophisticated: it gives the micro instrument the optimum twist.
