The Gass Corneoscleral Punch is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument designed for creating a sclerostomy opening during trabeculectomy and related glaucoma procedures. The instrument combines a compact corneoscleral punch profile with a 360° rotating tip, allowing the working end to be repositioned while the surgeon maintains control of the handle. The product features a 1.5mm diameter head and a 0.75mm bite, providing clearly defined working dimensions for ophthalmic surgical use.
Peak Surgicals identifies this instrument by SKU PS-J-158. Its construction includes surgical-grade stainless steel, a squeeze-action handle, and a satin finish. These design elements make the Gass pattern a dedicated ophthalmic punch rather than a general-purpose surgical cutting instrument.
The central design feature of the Gass Corneoscleral Punch is its rotating distal tip. The working tip can rotate through 360 degrees, allowing its orientation to be changed without requiring the entire instrument to be repositioned. This configuration is designed for work around the scleral flap and limbal region during glaucoma filtration surgery.
The instrument incorporates a 1.5mm diameter head with a 0.75mm bite. These dimensions define the cutting profile used when creating an opening in scleral tissue. A shearing mechanism is incorporated into the working end to remove a defined section of tissue when the squeeze-action handle is operated.
The instrument is manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel. Its squeeze-action handle controls the punch mechanism, while the satin surface finish reduces reflective glare from the instrument under surgical illumination. The rotating mechanism, cutting end, and handle assembly should be inspected before each procedure to confirm normal operation.
The product page provides 0.75mm and 1.5mm size selections. The instrument description also specifies a 1.5mm diameter head and a 0.75mm bite. The required product selection should be confirmed when ordering so that the chosen configuration matches the surgeon's instrument requirements.
The Gass Corneoscleral Punch is primarily designed for ophthalmic glaucoma surgery. Its principal stated application is creating a sclerostomy during trabeculectomy, where a controlled opening is created as part of the surgical technique.
The rotating tip allows the working end to be oriented around the surgical site while the surgeon retains a stable hand position. This can be useful when access around the scleral flap is limited and the cutting direction must be adjusted without changing the position of the entire instrument.
The product information also identifies the instrument for use during deep sclerectomy and non-penetrating glaucoma surgery. In each procedure, the punch functions as a specialized tissue-cutting instrument. The exact placement, orientation, and use of the punch should follow the ophthalmic surgeon's established surgical technique and procedure-specific requirements.
The instrument is intended for professional ophthalmic use by trained surgeons. The product description provides instrument dimensions and design information but does not replace clinical training, procedural guidance, or device-specific instructions used by the surgical facility.

The Gass Corneoscleral Punch should be cleaned promptly after use according to the healthcare facility's validated ophthalmic instrument-processing procedures. Particular attention should be given to the cutting end, rotating tip, joint, and squeeze-action mechanism because these areas contain the working components of the instrument.
Before each use, inspect the cutting surfaces and confirm that the 360° rotating mechanism moves correctly. The squeeze-action handle should operate smoothly, and the working end should remain aligned and free from visible damage. Cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, drying, and storage should follow current product-specific instructions and the healthcare facility's validated protocols. Generic sterilization temperatures, exposure times, or processing cycles should not replace verified instructions.
The Gass Corneoscleral Punch is identified by SKU PS-J-158. Confirm the required size selection before ordering and verify that the rotating tip and punch configuration match the intended ophthalmic instrument setup. Peak Surgicals offers free shipping on orders over $99.
