Douglas Cilia Fcps 9cm

Clinical Application

Designed for fine, controlled grasping of eyelashes (cilia), small foreign bodies and delicate superficial tissues, this instrument is used primarily in ophthalmology and oculoplastic procedures. Typical applications include lash removal or repositioning, eyelid margin work, foreign‑body extraction from the periocular area, and any procedure requiring atraumatic handling of very small, delicate structures.

Design & Configuration

The spring‑action thumb design provides tactile feedback and precise control for single‑handed manipulation. The 9 cm length offers a compact working profile that improves visibility and maneuverability within the confined periocular field while reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Fine, atraumatic tips concentrate force at the grasping point to allow secure hold of individual cilia or minute debris without crushing adjacent tissue.
