What is a muller set?
A muller set is a disposable instrument set used in the correction of ptosis (sagging of the upper eyelid), specifically via the Müller muscle technique. This technique, also called the Müllerectomy, is often used for mild to moderate ptosis when the function of the levator muscle is still partially preserved. The disposable set contains all the necessary tools to perform the procedure safely and hygienically.
Applications in practice
Muller sets are mainly used by ophthalmologists, plastic surgeons and ENT doctors in hospitals or specialised treatment centres. They are suitable for both unilateral and bilateral ptosis correction. Thanks to the sterile, single-use packaging, the risk of cross-contamination is minimised and the set can be used immediately in the OR or treatment room.
