A Cross-Knotted Suture Basket Technique for Large Nonmagnetic Intraocular Foreign Body Removal

Figure 2

Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal by cross-knotted suture basket. The basket was introduced into the eye through the limbal incision or pars plana trocar. (a) Then the four suture was placed appropriately around the IOFB. (b) The IOFB position is adjusted inside the basket to make its maximal cross-section smallest to the exit plane of the IOFB (Figure 1(c)), enabling the exit to be as small as possible.
