title: Epiretinal membrane delamination with a diamond knife.
abstract: Removal of membranes from the retinal surface is an integral part of many vitreoretinal surgical procedures. Two-handed tissue delamination with a knife allows precise and accurate control of dissection planes. A newly designed diamond knife provides the consistently sharp cutting edge required for this technique.
