The BVI Wet-Field Eraser is a sterile, single-use bipolar hemostatic eraser used for precise coagulation during ophthalmic surgery. The 25 gauge fine tip straight configuration (BVI code 221267) is designed for pinpoint haemostasis on delicate ocular tissue without compromising power delivery.
What it's used for
Wet-Field Erasers deliver targeted, discrete coagulation with minimal tissue trauma and minimal peripheral cellular necrosis. Common applications include vitreoretinal procedures, glaucoma filtration surgery and cataract incisions, where controlled bipolar diathermy is needed close to structures that will not tolerate collateral thermal damage.
The 25G fine tip is the finest gauge in the straight Eraser range. Surgeons typically select it when the priority is tip precision and visibility in a tight surgical field rather than bulk coagulation.
Design
Contoured shafts are designed to conform to ocular anatomy while maximising tip visualisation, range of motion and target approach versatility. Each eraser is supplied sterile and is intended for single use, so there is no reprocessing and no cross-contamination risk between cases.
Where it sits in the range
BVI manufactures bipolar pencils from 18G through to 25G, in straight and angled shafts, with bevelled, blunt, fine and tapered tip options. The straight range covers 18G, 20G, 20-23G tapered, 23G and 25G. Erasers are used with a compatible bipolar cable and coagulator.
Supplied in boxes of 5.
