Abstract
The novel design of the one piece self-locking scleral buckle eliminates the need for a separate tire, band and sleeve by incorporating the band with the tire and making the device self-locking so the sleeve is no longer necessary. As one piece of silicone replaces the need for three separate pieces of silicone scleral buckling surgery is simplified thus making the procedure faster, safer and more efficient. The novel design of the scleral buckle placement instrument allows the surgeon to more firmly grasp the silicone material making the procedure faster and more efficient.
