Retinal tacks.

An improved retinal tack and applicator can be used to fix the retina to the wall of the eye mechanically. The system consists of a small (1 X 2.7 mm) stainless steel tack with a blade-like tip and a forked applicator that can grasp the tack securely from any position. Two eyes with complex detachments with fixed rolled retinas could not have been repaired without the help of retinal tacks. The advantages of the retinal tack system over other methods include ease of handling, insertion, and removal.
