Foreign bodies in the eye can leave rust rings when removed. The ALGERBRUSH II is used for the express purpose of removing these rust rings from the eye of a patient. These rust rings are normally caused by a ferrous foreign body accidentally striking the cornea or sclera of the patient. When the foreign body (usually from a spark produced by a grinding wheel or welding torch) strikes the eye it sticks to the eye and eventually produces rust when combining with the moisture in the eye. The unit has a very low torque motor powered by a single AA battery. The burr in this rotary instrument is used as a "brush" rather than a drill and the rust ring is thus "brushed" from the cornea or sclera leaving a smooth surface which in turn heals quickly.
