Glendora, CA – OASIS Medical Inc., U.S. manufacturer and distributor of high quality disposable surgical instruments, ocular lubricating and cleansing solutions, and exclusive distributor in the U.S. for the Feather® ophthalmic scalpels, announces the availability of thediamond-like Feather® keratome. Feather® raises the bar with its keratome’s superior performance and advantage of reusability for a sizeable return on investment.

Feather® utilizes proprietary manufacturing technology that produces ultra-sharp, low friction blade performance that rival diamonds. It has earned a reputation for high quality metal scalpels that can be used multiple times, which helps to manage cost-per-case while maintaining compliance with Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) regulations.

The new Feather keratome produces a smooth, precise entry to the anterior chamber with no drag or concern of catching Descemet's membrane." said Adelaide Priester, D.O., "The reusable blades are cost effective in our surgery center [ASC] and perform well for multiple procedures, which greatly reduces our cost per case."

The new Feather® keratome blades are available in widths from 1.4mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, 2.2mm, 2.4mm, 2.75mm, 2.8mm, 3.0mm, and 3.2mm.
