In the realm of ophthalmic microsurgery, the margin for error is measured in microns. At Surgicon AG, we understand that every incision – every blade – must embody the highest standard of precision and reliability. That’s why, with a steadfast commitment to precision at every step, our SurgiCut series of Ophthalmic Knives is thoughtfully engineered in Switzerland — delivering exacting performance across both anterior and posterior segment surgeries.

From cataract extraction to vitreoretinal interventions, the success of each procedure begins with selecting the right surgical blade. Here, we explore five integral types of SurgiCut Ophthalmic Knives, each designed to support specific clinical applications with sharpness, consistency, and control.

1. SLIT OPHTHALMIC KNIVES

→ Ideal For: Corneal and scleral incisions

→ Blade Angle: 45°

Sharply angled for precise entry, Slit Knives are crafted to enable smooth, linear corneal incisions—ideal for cataract surgeries requiring controlled scleral or clear corneal access. Available in single-bevel (“S” series) and double-bevel profiles (≥1.8 mm), these knives not only promote optimal wound architecture but also significantly reduce intraoperative resistance — thereby enhancing both surgical control and postoperative healing.

2. STRAIGHT KNIVES (SIDE PORT / STAB KNIVES)

→ Ideal For: Paracentesis, scleral grooves, anterior chamber entry

Designed for high-precision incisions into the anterior chamber, Straight Knives provide the sharp, stable entry required for side ports, instrument access, and fluid control. The pointed tip minimizes distortion, ensuring clean, fluid-tight results. Their deliberate sharpness allows low-force penetration—crucial for surgical stability and reducing tissue trauma.

3. CRESCENT KNIVES

→ Ideal For: Scleral tunnels and partial-thickness flaps

With a unique curved blade geometry, Crescent Knives excel in creating controlled, partial-thickness incisions. Commonly used in manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS), these knives not only provide precise depth control for tunnel formation but also significantly reduce collateral tissue stress. As a result, they enhance wound stability and contribute to improved overall surgical outcomes.

4. CLEAR CORNEA KNIVES

→ Ideal For: Self-sealing corneal incisions during phaco and refractive surgery

→ Blade Angle: 45°

🔗 View Product › https://surgicon.ch/clear-cornea-knives/

Our Clear Cornea Knives are finely sharpened and geometrically optimized for creating self-sealing incisions that require minimal suturing. Available in both single- and double-bevel variants, these knives not only support fast recovery and excellent wound healing but also enhance surgical efficiency. Moreover, they are an ideal choice for cataract and refractive procedures, where incision stability is absolutely critical.

5. MVR KNIVES (MICRO VITREORETINAL)

→ Ideal For: Posterior segment sclerotomies, paracentesis, self-retaining ports

🔗 View Product › https://surgicon.ch/mvr-knives/

Engineered for posterior segment surgery, MVR Knives feature sharp, narrow blade tips for sclerotomy sites and posterior port entry. Available in both straight and angled tips, these knives not only offer surgeons the flexibility they need but also provide exceptional control, making them ideal for the precise creation of self-retaining wounds — particularly during complex procedures such as vitrectomy, retinal detachment repair, or interventions for diabetic retinopathy.
