Its also known as Castroviejo Blade Breaker & Holder is a useful tool in cataract surgery. The instrument is used to hold the carbon razor blade or break off a segment to create a microblade to create a corneo-scleral groove. The holder is equipped with a push-pull end lock to set the device in place and reduce physician fatigue during the procedure. Its overall length is 75 mm.
