Rust Deposit Remover - <strong>Algerbrush</strong><br />
Foreign bodies in the eye can leave rust rings when removed. The ALGERBRUSH II is used for the express purpose of removing<br />
these rust rings from the eye of a patient. These rust rings are normally caused by a ferrous foreign body accidentally striking the<br />
cornea or sclera of the patient. When the foreign body (usually from a spark produced by a grinding wheel or welding torch) strikes<br />
the eye it sticks to the eye <strong>and</strong> eventually produces rust when combined with the moisture in the eye. The unit has a very low<br />
torque motor powered by a single AA battery. The burr in this rotary instrument is used as a "brush" rather than a drill <strong>and</strong> the rust<br />
ring is thus "brushed" from the cornea or sclera leaving a smooth surface which in turn heals quickly. Used correctly, the gentle<br />
spin will not harm corneal tissue.<br />
<strong>Algerbrush</strong> II starts easily with a turn of the knurled base <strong>and</strong> turns off with a reverse turn. Available with either 0.5 mm or 1 mm<br />
carbide burr. Burrs are interchangeable. The new Universal Chuck (5224x) fits both <strong>Algerbrush</strong> I <strong>and</strong> II units. Base unscrews to<br />
replace the single AA battery.<br />

<strong>Pterygium</strong> Instrument<br />
Following surgical removal of the <strong>Pterygium</strong>, smoothing of the surface of the cornea can now be accomplished with this<br />
diamond abrasive tool. Burrs are offered in both medium <strong>and</strong> fine, however the medium is the most popular. Available as a<br />
complete kit or the one piece <strong>Pterygium</strong> attachment can replace the chuck <strong>and</strong> burr on the <strong>Algerbrush</strong> II. Older <strong>Algerbrush</strong> I<br />
