Rougine
Rougine[edit | edit source]
A rougine is a specialized surgical instrument used primarily in the field of ophthalmology. It is designed for delicate procedures involving the eye, particularly in surgeries that require precision and care in handling the sensitive tissues of the ocular region.
Design and Function[edit | edit source]
The rougine is typically crafted from high-quality stainless steel to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. Its design includes a slender, elongated handle that allows the surgeon to maintain a steady grip while performing intricate maneuvers. The working end of the rougine is often curved or angled, facilitating access to hard-to-reach areas within the eye.
The primary function of a rougine is to manipulate and dissect delicate tissues. It is particularly useful in procedures such as cataract surgery, where precision is paramount. The instrument's fine tip allows for careful separation of tissues without causing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding structures.
Usage in Ophthalmic Surgery[edit | edit source]
In ophthalmic surgery, the rougine is employed in various procedures, including:
- Cataract Extraction: During cataract surgery, the rougine may be used to gently separate the lens capsule from the surrounding tissues, allowing for the safe removal of the cataract.
- Retinal Detachment Repair: In surgeries to repair a retinal detachment, the rougine can assist in manipulating the retina and adjacent tissues to ensure proper reattachment.
- Glaucoma Surgery: The instrument may also be used in glaucoma procedures to access and modify the trabecular meshwork or other structures involved in intraocular pressure regulation.
Maintenance and Sterilization[edit | edit source]
Proper maintenance and sterilization of the rougine are crucial to prevent infection and ensure the longevity of the instrument. After each use, the rougine should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any biological debris. It is then subjected to a sterilization process, typically involving autoclaving, to eliminate any potential pathogens.
