Levine Orbital Decompression Instrument Set
Orbital decompression is often indicated for Graves' disease, and this innovative set is specially designed for intranasal endoscopic orbital decompression.

Thyroid eye disease, or Graves' disease, is the most frequent indication for orbital decompression. This disorder is characterized by exophthalmos that sometimes requires an intranasal endoscopic orbital decompression approach.
The MicroFrance® Levine Orbital Decompression Instrument Set is ideally suited for intranasal endoscopic orbital decompression:
- The perforator creates the initial opening through the medial orbital wall (lamina papyracea)
- Angled suction curettes and picks help gently remove the lamina
- Once the periorbita is incised, the angled forceps assist in teasing the orbital fat into the sinus cavity
- Special, serrated "gentle jaws" of the forceps do not close completely, allowing a firm, yet atraumatic grip to help prevent excessive bleeding and injury
