The ‘B-HEX Pupil Expander’ is a patented product. It is a sterile single use flexible 6.5 mm hexagonal plastic device with notches and flanges disposed in a single plane. Alternate flanges are tucked under the iris to engage the notches to the pupil margin and provide a 5.5 mm expanded pupil. It is preloaded in a transparent carrier with an ergonomic handle which delivers the device sterile at the incision. The device is inserted, engaged to the pupil margin, and removed using a ‘B-HEX 23 G forceps’. Each sterile unit is packed individually.
Description:
The B-HEX Pupil Expander is a thin flexible hexagonal plastic ring with notches, flanges and positioning
holes disposed in a single plane.
Each disposable B-HEX ring is preloaded in a housing which presents the sterile device at the incision. The
transparent lid allows constant visibility of the device during its travel.
Pupil expansion is achieved when alternate flanges are tucked under the pupil margin and notches at the
corners engage the pupil margin.

A B-HEX 23 gauge Micro-forceps (not provided) is used for insertion, engagement and removal of the ring.
The 6.5 mm B-HEX ring provides a 5.5 mm expanded pupil.
