A system (20) for ophthalmic surgery includes a control assembly (24) placed away from the patient to prevent contamination, and a sterile disposable microkeratome (22) for performing surgery on a patient's eye. The disposable microkeratome is connected to the reusable control assembly by a cable (28). The microkeratome includes a base that sits on the eye, and a carriage that supports and guides a cutting blade as it moves relative to the base. The base includes a main portion that holds the microkeratome on the eye and a handle that extends away from the main portion. The cable is connected to the microkeratome at an end of the handle spaced from the main portion to help maintain the sterility of that portion of the microkeratome.

Le microkératome est relié au dispositif de commande réutilisable par un câble (28). Le microkératome comporte une base reposant sur l'oeil et un chariot qui porte et guide une lame de coupe en se déplaçant par rapport à la base. La base comprend une partie principale qui maintient le microkératome sur l'oeil, et une poignée qui s'écarte de la partie principale. Le câble est relié au microkératome à l'extrémité de la poignée et séparé de la partie principale pour aider à maintenir la stérilité du microkératome.
