When performing epiretinal membrane peeling, the first step is to elevate an edge of the ERM. Once an edge has been elevated, it can then be grasped to extend the membrane peel. There are a variety of techniques for creating this edge including the use of forceps (“pinch and peel” technique), Flex Loop, and sharp instruments like a barbed needle. In today’s video we will show you the use of a Tano Diamond-Dusted Membrane Scraper. At the end of the video we will discuss some of options for ERM edge elevation and the clinical scenarios where one instrument may be preferred over another.
