Most surgeons that perform trabeculectomy have the majority of the instruments needed; however, there are several instruments unique to the AquaFlow glaucoma implant that can enhance the outcomes of the procedure: • Mermoud Schlemm’s canal forceps • Sapphire mini-crescent angled dissection blade • 5mm x 5mm impression marker • Guarded or stepped 300 micron depth blade
