Technique for intraocular foreign body levitation using the 27 gauge nitinol wire.
The novel technique for IOFB levitation using the nitinol wire of the Finesse loop® is promising as an easy-to-perform, minimally traumatic alternative to the available techniques especially in cases where magnets cannot be used (eg. Non-metallic IOFBs). Larger samples and longer follow-ups are required to confirm the outcomes of this technique.
