## Intended Use

The M3 microkeratome is intended for use in making of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatments requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea.

## Device Story

M3 microkeratome is a surgical instrument used to create corneal flaps for LASIK or other lamellar resection procedures. The system comprises a power unit, motor, suction rings, applanator lenses, footswitches, keratome head, and blade. The power unit provides vacuum for eye fixation and power for the dual-motor drive system (one motor for blade oscillation, one for advancement). Suction rings fixate and pressurize the eye; applanator lenses (methylmethacrylate) allow surgeons to verify disk diameter before the cut. The device is operated by a surgeon in a clinical setting. The output is a controlled, circular lamellar resection of the cornea. The device benefits patients by providing consistent flap thickness and bed smoothness, facilitating subsequent refractive surgery.

## Clinical Evidence

Evidence includes in-vitro studies on porcine eyes demonstrating flap thickness consistency and safety/quality of resections. In-vivo clinical study on 100 human eyes confirmed the device is safe and capable of creating circular lamellar resections with equivalent thickness and bed smoothness to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

System includes power unit with vacuum/gas pressure controls, dual-motor drive (oscillation and advancement), suction rings, and keratome head. Blade consists of low carbon steel and plastic. Applanator lenses are methylmethacrylate. Connectivity includes dedicated outlets for motors, gas, and vacuum. Operation is electromechanical; no software-based algorithms or digital processing described.

## Regulatory Identification

A keratome is an AC-powered or battery-powered device intended to shave tissue from sections of the cornea for a lamellar (partial thickness) transplant.

- Plancon microlamellar Keratome ([K970377](/device/K970377.md))
- Automatic Corneal Shaper Surgical Instrument ([K941550](/device/K941550.md))

## Reference Devices

- M5 microkeratome ([K003594](/device/K003594.md))
