Abstract:
1. An instrument comprising: a handle having a handle distal end and a handle proximal end; a handle base of the handle, the handle base having a handle base distal end, a handle base proximal end, an outer cylinder interface, and a housing tube guide; an outer cylinder of the handle, the outer cylinder having an outer cylinder distal end, an outer cylinder proximal end, and a handle base interface, the outer cylinder disposed over a portion of the handle base wherein the outer cylinder distal end is adjacent to the outer cylinder interface and the handle base proximal end is adjacent to the handle base interface; an actuation mechanism of the handle, the actuation mechanism having an actuation mechanism distal end, an actuation mechanism proximal end, and a housing tube housing; an actuation control of the actuation mechanism; a single housing tube having a housing tube distal end and a housing tube proximal end, the housing tube disposed within the housing tube housing and the housing tube guide; an optic fiber disposed in an inner bore of the handle and the housing tube, the optic fiber configured to transmit light for performing ophthalmic surgical procedures; an actuation chamber of the actuation mechanism; a first magnet disposed within the actuation chamber; a first static chamber of the handle, the actuation chamber and the first static chamber configured to temporarily fix the actuation control in a first position within an actuation channel of the handle by a first force between one or more magnets wherein temporarily fixing the actuation control in the first position within the actuation channel of the handle is configured to temporarily fix the optic fiber in a first curved position; and a second static chamber of the handle, the actuation chamber and the second static chamber configured to temporarily fix the actuation control in a second position within the actuation channel of the handle wherein temporarily fixing the actuation control in the second position within the actuation channel of the handle is configured to temporarily fix the optic fiber in a second curved position.
