摘要:
An ophthalmic marking device is provided herein for marking a patients eye. The device may include a handle (12) and a tip (14) with a tip element, a first portion of the tip element protruding from the tip to be exposed. The tip element is electrically conductive to resistively generate heat with electrical flow therethrough. A source of electrical power (42) is associated with the device and electrically coupled to the tip element. The source of the electrical power and the tip element are configured to cause the first portion of the tip element to have a temperature in a range of 250° F - 450° F. Advantageously, the subject invention provides for a relatively low-cost device for marking a patients eye and allows for creating a less traumatic marking on a patients eye as compared to higher temperature electrocautery devices.
