Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9320765A1] A remotely operable ocular surgical cutting instrument (10), useful, for instance as a knife for a capsulotomy procedure, has a two portion main body (12) with one portion (16) oriented at an angle with respect to the other (14). A turning unit (20) extends through the main instrument body (12), and, to constitute a capsulotomy knife, a cutting blade (22) is mounted on the turning unit (20) at one end of the body (12). During operation, the orientation of cutting edge of the blade (22) with respect to the instrument body (12) is determined by manipulation of the opposite end of the turning unit at the other end of the instrument body (12).
