The Atkinson Retrobulbar Needle is primarily used to deliver local anesthesia into the retrobulbar muscle cone prior to intraocular surgeries, while minimizing the risk of vessel or globe perforation.
- Provides deep sensory anesthesia and total eye immobility in cataract surgery.
- Ensures extraocular muscle paralysis for precise donor graft positioning during keratoplasty.
- Provides long-lasting intraocular anesthesia and motor block for vitrectomy.
- Moves vessels and nerves aside, reducing the risk of retrobulbar hemorrhage and nerve injury.
