A variation of Canabrava’s original double-flange technique, Cold Flange demonstrates real-time adjustability of fixated rings or IOLs using 5-0 polypropylene thread. The technique, paired with precise maneuvers and feedback, offers surgeons a novel option to enhance control, reduce intraoperative surprises, and improve outcomes.
