The B-HEX® Pupil Expander (Med Invent Devices) is a disposable 6.5 mm flexible hexagonal device with notches at corners and flanges at sides. Alternate flanges with positioning holes are tucked under the iris to engage the notches to the margin of the pupil to provide a 5.5 mm expanded pupil. Unlike devices with scrolls or pockets which require an injector to avoid snagging the incision, the preloaded B-HEX is inserted and removed through a 1 mm or larger incision using a manipulator or 23-gauge micro-forceps. The thin profile and uniplanar design allow unhindered instrument movement during phacoemulsification, cortical cleaning, and intraocular lens implantation. The B-HEX is safely used even after capsulorhexis since the thin uniplanar notches are directly visualized to avoid the capsule margin. It is useful in coaxial phacoemulsification, coaxial sub 2.00 mm micro incision cataract surgery (MICS), biaxial 1.5 mm MICS, femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), small pupil pars plana vitrectomy, and shallow anterior chamber eyes.

“…Вследствие того что кольцо сделано из нейлона, который имеет показатель плотности 1,14-1,35 г/см 3 , оно тонет в сбалансированном солевом растворе, плотность которого составляет 1,006 г/см 3 . При использовании такого кольца отсутствует риск всплытия его к задней поверхности роговицы, что при его дислокации делает минимальным риск контакта с эндотелием [21].…”

“…Several devices have been introduced for dilating the pupil intraoperatively. Newer devices include Malyugin's ring [15] and Bhattacharjee ring [16], which can be inserted through single port and result in good circular pupillary dilatation. Another device, Visitec I-Ring iris dilator has been associated with better outcomes [17].…”
