Chu Aspirating Speculum
The Chu Aspirating Speculum (Katena Products, Inc., Denville, New Jersey) is a Lieberman-style speculum designed by Y. Ralph Chu, MD, of the Chu Vision Institute in Edina, Minnesota. According to company literature, the instrument combines thin, solid blades to keep the lashes from the surgical field with aspiration ports to remove excess fluid during surgery. The speculum can be used nasally or temporally, even in deep-set eyes, as the shanks are precisely angled and the aspiration ports are aligned centrally on each blade. The speculum is designed with extra-long tubing to allow it to be connected directly to either the wall or a remote suction device.
