Clinical Application
Delicate, fine-tip forceps designed for atraumatic manipulation of iris and other anterior-segment tissues during ophthalmic procedures. The 1x2 tooth configuration provides secure purchase on small tissue edges and suture material without excessive crushing, making the instrument appropriate for intraocular maneuvers, fine suturing, membrane handling, foreign-body removal, and other microsurgical tasks where precise control is required.
Design & Configuration
The slender, fine-tip geometry typical of iris forceps delivers tactile feedback and visibility in confined operative fields. A 0.8 mm tip width concentrates grip force for reliable grasping of thin tissue and small needles, while the 1x2 tooth pattern gives a balance of grip security and minimized tissue trauma. The 8.5 cm overall length offers a balance between tabletop control and reach into the operative site for most anterior-segment and microsurgical applications.
