It is widely recognized that Doug Mastel's products are the "Rolls Royce" of ophthalmic surgical instruments. So is the case with his new 2.2 diamond blade for micro-coaxial phacoemulsification. I have had the chance to use it for approximately 6 months and several hundred cases. Its exquisite sharpness has not dulled, and combined with its thin profile I can gently dissect a clear corneal pocket enabling me to create reproducible incisions that are square in their surface architecture. These incisions are physically stable, allowing hermetic sealing. Moreover, the product is remarkably cost effective over disposable steel blades.
