DIRECTICN FOR USE
1. Remove the storage case from package and carefully remove iris retractors.
2. Make four small and self-sealing incisions, equidistance from each other and as close as possible to the limbus using a side port blade.
3. Hold the Iris Retractor at the silicon lock with a straight suture tying forceps. Insert the hooked end of the retractor into the incision and move the hook over the Iris. Retracting the device dilates the pupil. When all four retractors are in place, the pupil is enlarged as a square. The dilation is maintained by the silicone stoppers at the incision site. The tension of the hook is adjusted by sliding the silicon stopper along the shaft of the retractor.
4. Removal : Slip off the silicone stoppers. Unlock the retractor from the iris. Slowly withdraw the retractor from the eye. The hooked end will straighten and slip through the self-sealing incision.
