Project Description

Within the human orbital space lie vital structures such as the optic nerve, muscles, nerves, and adipose tissue. Numerous orbital conditions necessitate surgical intervention for diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately, the surgical instruments currently employed in orbital procedures have notable limitations. Eye surgeons must often deal with challenges during operation arising from the confined orbital space, and exacerbated by the tendency of orbital fat to protrude and obstruct their view. The development of a specialized orbital surgical tool designed to efficiently retract orbital fat promises to enhance surgical precision and visibility. This has the potential to reduce procedure duration, mitigate risks to neighboring vital structures, and decrease the likelihood of orbital bleeding during operation.
