Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an ophthalmic surgical probe for extrusion. In certain embodiments, the probe includes a beveled probe tip that increases the area of vacuum generation at a target site without increasing probe gauge, thus facilitating improved tissue engagement. In certain embodiments, the probe further includes one or more texturized surfaces for improved “grabbing” and manipulation of target tissues, and/or one or more surfaces formed of polymeric materials to reduce unwanted damage and enhance the safety of use thereof.
