Clinical Application
Precision forceps intended for delicate manipulation of eyelashes (cilia), superficial foreign bodies, and fine tissues at the eyelid margin and periocular area. Commonly used in ophthalmology, oculoplastics and ENT procedures for tasks such as eyelash removal, lid margin inspection and stabilization during microsutures or graft placement. The instrument’s fine tips enable controlled handling of small structures without compressive trauma.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a slim, elongated profile that improves visibility and access in the confined anatomy of the periocular and nasal regions. A non‑locking thumb‑forceps configuration provides direct tactile feedback and rapid open/close control for precise positional adjustments. Fine, tapered tips concentrate grasping force at the working point to securely engage cilia and other minute tissues while minimizing collateral tissue distortion.
