MANI MST30 Ophthalmic Knife - 30.0mm Straight Sideport Stab Knife (Box of 6)

MANI Ophthalmic Stab Knife | 30.0 mm | MST30

The MANI MST30 is a premier micro-incisional instrument engineered for 2026 standards in ophthalmic surgery. Part of the renowned "Stab" series, this straight knife is designed specifically for creating the precision sideport incisions required for secondary instrumentation during cataract procedures.

Constructed from MANI’s proprietary Hard Fiber Stainless Steel, the MST30 offers a unique combination of extreme thinness and high tensile strength. This allows for a razor-sharp, Crosslapped Edge that provides the "Ultimate Sharpness" required for self-sealing wounds with minimal tissue displacement.

Key Performance Features

• Hard Fiber Stainless Steel: A specialized Japanese austenite steel that is significantly stronger and more ductile than standard stainless steel. This allows for a thinner blade profile that resists tip deformation and maintains its edge throughout the procedure.

• Minimal Penetration Resistance: Engineered to require significantly less force for initial entry compared to traditional stamped blades. This reduces the risk of "eye-push" and unintended corneal or scleral distortion.

• Crosslapped Edge Technology: MANI’s proprietary multi-directional polishing process eliminates microscopic burrs, ensuring a "clean" cut that promotes rapid, suture-less healing and superior wound integrity.

• 30.0 mm Reach: The standardized length provides excellent maneuverability and tactile feedback, allowing the surgeon to maintain absolute control over the incision depth and trajectory.

• Anti-Reflective Matte Finish: The blade surface is treated to diffuse high-intensity microscope light, preventing glare and "blinding" reflections that can obscure the surgeon's view during critical entry maneuvers.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Superior Self-Sealing Wounds: The extreme sharpness of the MST30 creates a perfectly linear incision, which is essential for ensuring the sideport remains watertight without the need for hydration or sutures.

• Procedural Consistency: As a single-use instrument, every MST30 delivers factory-perfect sharpness, eliminating the variability and potential for cross-contamination associated with reusable or re-sharpened blades.

• Strategic Procurement: Sourcing genuine MANI overstock allows high-volume ophthalmic centers to provide Japanese-engineered precision while significantly reducing the cost-per-case for essential consumables.

Ideal Applications
