Product Description

Hoffer Corneal Marker with Cross Hairs – Precision Ophthalmic Optic Zone Marker

The Hoffer Corneal Marker with Cross Hairs by Stellmacher Instruments Inc. is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument designed to create circular reference markings and assist with centration on the corneal surface. Featuring a circular marking head with integrated cross hairs, this precision instrument helps ophthalmic surgeons establish visual reference points during corneal and refractive surgical procedures.

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, the Hoffer Optic Zone Marker is designed for controlled handling and accurate instrument positioning during delicate eye surgery. Its cross-hair configuration provides a central alignment reference, while the circular marking head supports the identification of a defined corneal marking zone.

• Professional Ophthalmic Application: Designed for use by trained ophthalmologists and qualified eye surgery professionals.

Applications & Surgical Uses

The Hoffer Corneal Marker with Cross Hairs is used to establish reference markings on the cornea during ophthalmic procedures where centration, orientation, and identification of a defined marking zone are required.

• Refractive Surgery: Assists in marking and identifying an optical reference zone during appropriate refractive surgical procedures.
• Corneal Surgery: Provides circular reference markings to support surgical positioning and orientation during selected corneal procedures.
• Keratoplasty Procedures: May assist with identifying corneal reference areas and supporting the orientation of grafts or sutures when appropriate to the surgical technique.
• Ophthalmic Microsurgery: Supports accurate placement of visual reference markings for procedures requiring precise corneal alignment.
• Surgical Planning & Centration: The integrated cross hairs help identify the center of the selected marking area and provide additional orientation references.

Product Specifications
