The E-Z(Easy) Clamp-A New Instrument to Facilitate Medial Ectropion Repair

The medial spindle/retropunctal diamond procedure is a useful technique to correct medial ectropion. Unfortunately, the procedure is difficult, due to the limited size of the surgical field, the bleeding that is seen when the marginal artery is encountered and because of the ever present risk of damaging the canaliculus. We have developed a clamp that overcomes the anatomical opposition outlined above and at the same time improves access to the surgical field.
