Gradle Cilia Fcps 9.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise handling of eyelashes, small lashes (cilia), and other delicate tissues at the eyelid margin and periocular surface. Commonly used in ophthalmology, oculoplastics, minor eyelid procedures, and ENT work where controlled, single-handed grasping and removal of fine structures or foreign material is required. The instrument's fine tips allow atraumatic engagement of cilia and tiny tissue fragments without broad tissue compression.

Design & Configuration

The spring-action thumb forceps configuration provides direct tactile feedback and one-handed operation for rapid manipulation in a confined surgical field. The 9.5 cm length balances reach and control: it is long enough to maintain a safe working distance from the operative site while short enough to permit fine manual control and stability. Fine, tapered tips concentrate contact to a small area, improving precision and minimizing trauma when isolating eyelashes or retrieving small particles.
