Product Function:
- BeneMount Corneal Diamond Burr — designed for veterinary ophthalmologists to treat indolent corneal ulcers or perform animal corneal epithelial debridement.
Product Features:
- High-quality mechanism ensuring high efficiency and safety;
- Lightweight and durable design with user-friendly operation.
Included Specifications
3.6mm (80-grit), 3.4mm (100-grit), 0.5mm (100-grit)
The 3.6mm burr features coarser abrasive particles, suitable for general corneas.
The 3.4mm burr has finer particles, designed for delicate corneas.
The 0.5mm burr is commonly used in experimental animals, such as scraping off the mouse corneal epithelium.
BeneMount Corneal Diamond Burr Specifications
| Specification | Particle Texture | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 3.6mm (80-grit) | Coarse abrasion | General corneas |
| 3.4mm (100-grit) | Fine polishing | Delicate corneas |
| 0.5mm (100-grit) | Micro-precision abrasion | Lab rats and mice |
Speed Range: 3,800 to 7,000 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute)
Actual speed depends on battery voltage and charge level. Adjustments can be made by using batteries with different voltages:
- 1.5V Battery: Delivers 3,800 RPM
- 3.7V Battery: Achieves 7,000 RPM
Indolent corneal ulcers, also known as Spontaneous Chronic Corneal Epithelial Defects (SCCEDs), are effectively treated with diamond burr debridement. This method offers advantages such as procedural simplicity and high therapeutic efficiency.
The corneal diamond burr creates controlled microtraumas in the basement membrane, analogous to polishing its surface. This facilitates stronger adhesion of regenerating corneal epithelial cells to the basement membrane, promoting definitive wound closure.
Clinical studies have demonstrated a 94% cure rate with diamond burr therapy for SCCEDs [1]. Compared to superficial keratectomy, this technique additionally reduces recurrence rates and mildly improves post-healing corneal transparency [2].
