Noted Fort Worth and Dallas eye surgeon Phillips Kirk Labor, MD, has his name associated with three innovative new cataract surgical instruments on the market. Manufactured by industry leader Katena Products, Inc., each is based on modification by Dr. Labor of an existing instrument to accommodate patients with smaller or deeper set eyes. Based on Dr. Labor\u2019s modifications, the instruments are designed for surgeons to more easily handle in performing certain procedures during cataract surgery, as well as for improved efficiency, precision, and patient safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a distinction few eye surgeons have achieved, which reflects the Eye Consultants of Texas founder\u2019s devotion to innovation as key to continually improved outcomes. \u201cNo doubt, this is a tremendous honor,\u201d Dr. Labor said. \u201cWhen originally modifying these instruments, however, I had the patient and only the patient in mind.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The three instruments with the \u201cLabor\u201d name are part of Katena\u2019s full product line, and include:<\/div>\n
\n

Labor A\/C Cannula<\/strong>
\n<\/em>The Labor A\/C Cannula is designed for positioning an intraocular lens (IOL) without damaging the optic. From Dr. Labor\u2019s modification, it uses a thinner 26 gauge, with lightly textured tip to further enhance this benefit for the surgeon.<\/p>\n

\n

Labor-Lester IOL Manipulator<\/strong>
\n<\/em>The Labor-Lester IOL Manipulator is an angled instrument for use with intraoperative diagnostic equipment, such as the ORA System<\/a>. Because of ORA\u2019s revolutionary configuration, this reduces working space under the microscope. Dr. Labor\u2019s modification shortens the handle to 29mm in order to solve this issue.<\/p>\n

Labor Cyclodialysis Spatula<\/strong>
\n<\/em>From Dr. Labor\u2019s modification, the Labor Cyclodialysis Spatula has a slightly vaulted 0.5mm wide surface with beveled tip and short handle. It\u2019s designed for use with intraoperative diagnostic equipment that reduces working space under the microscope.<\/p>\n
