A new BB forceps.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Retained intraocular BBs are difficult to remove. According to manufacturers' specifications, BBs have a spherical diameter of 4.5 mm and a copper plate covering a steel core. They have only moderate magnetic properties because of the copper plate cover and they are too large to be grasped by almost all intraocular forceps and, therefore, present a problem when they are retained in the eye after injury.

Retrieval of the broken tip could be a challenge in minimally invasive surgeries due to limitation of access and retrieval instruments. We describe our experience in handling such a situation during percutaneous radiofrequency discectomy. The removal was attempted, without converting into open surgery, ...

OBJECTIVES Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) has been one of the essential procedures used in the diagnosis of lung cancer Diagnostic yields of FOB related procedures such as bronchial washing (BW), bronchial brushing (BB), bronchial biopsy (BBx), and transbronchial biopsy (TBBx) depend on the location and extent of the tumors. The yields of BW vary among different studies (39-79%). Some reported t...
متن کاملA new obstetrical polyurethane versus stainless steel forceps: a comparison of forces generated to the base of the fetal skull during simulated deliveries.
BACKGROUND Decreasing the maximum force applied during traction to the base of the fetal skull using a less rigid polyurethane forceps is the basis of this study. Our hypothesis was that less force would be generated with polyurethane forceps than with steel forceps. OBJECTIVE To test a new soft polyurethane obstetrical forceps for maximal force generated to the base of the skull during simul...
