ABSTRACT:
A trephine instrument for use in surgical removal of a cornea includes a cylindrical blade mounted on an elongate handle. The blade is power-driven and an actuating element is operable for selectively extending and retracting the blade. In a second embodiment, an ultrasonic source powers the blade. Further, the blade is detachably connected to the handle so that it may serve as a storage container for a cornea. In both embodiments, the handle includes offset portions so that a surgeon may grip the instrument with both hands and position the blade adjacent an eye.
