Nylon Suture Snare for Intraocular Foreign Body Removal: A Case Series
This snare is fashioned from readily available, inexpensive materials and provides a safe and reliable method for IOFB removal through the vitrectomy port. By maintaining a closed system during IOFB mobilization and removal, the view through the cornea remains stable and intraocular pressure remains constant. Moreover, the snare can grasp irregularly shaped or large IOFBs.
