Corneoscleral punch (A hand-held, manual ophthalmic surgical instrument designed to excise a segment of tissue (frequently in the form of a disc) from the sclera or cornea of a patient or from grafts taken from cadaver donors. It typically has a set of sharp, hollow tips at the distal end (a rotary mechanism that may be either integral or an attachment) operated by squeezing a two-part handle. The device is used mainly to perform ophthalmic graft implantations or, less frequently, to obtain grafts from the sclera of cadaver donors. This is a reusable device.)
