Clinical Application
Oblique cilia forceps are used for precise handling of eyelashes, small hairs and delicate tissue during ophthalmic, oculoplastic and periocular procedures. The oblique tip orientation aids tasks such as cilia removal, lash alignment during lid reconstruction, foreign body extraction near the lid margin, and other microsurgical maneuvers where control and minimal tissue distortion are required. The 9 cm length balances reach and tactile feedback for use at the operative field.
Design & Configuration
The oblique tip geometry provides an off-axis approach that improves visualization and line-of-sight when working at the eyelid margin or in narrow surgical corridors. Tapered, fine jaws allow grasping individual lashes or small tissue fragments with minimal compression, reducing the risk of crushing fragile structures. The overall length offers a short, controllable shaft that enhances fingertip precision for surgeries performed under a microscope or loupe magnification.
