ABSTRACT:
The illuminated tissue manipulator includes a handpiece and an elongated rigid probe including a tubular body having an outside dimension suitable for insertion through an opening in a patient's eye and terminating in a forward edge extending around a substantial portion of the outer periphery generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the probe body. The probe body has an integral, narrow tissue manipulating tool which extends longitudinally and outwardly beyond such forward edge. An elongated fiber optic light-conducting member extends through the handpiece and the probe body. One end of the light-conducting member extends in a plane generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the probe body and is disposed adjacent the forward edge of the probe body and the other end is remote from the handpiece and includes an optical connector which is connected to a light source. The tool portion has a rounded tip and can be straight, or the forward end portion including the tip bent inwardly at an acute angle or into a generally J-shape.
