Littauer Cilia Fcps 8.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise handling of eyelashes (cilia) and other very fine structures, this instrument is used in ophthalmic and oculoplastic procedures, lash epilation, eyelid margin work, chalazion and lid lesion management, and any microsurgical or delicate soft-tissue manipulation where controlled, atraumatic grasping is required. Its small profile and fine tips help surgeons isolate and secure individual cilia or small tissue edges without excessive bulk or tissue compression.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's slender, straight thumb-forceps configuration provides direct line-of-sight to the working area and tactile feedback necessary for microsurgical precision. Fine, pointed tips concentrate gripping force to a small contact area for secure hold of single lashes and delicate tissue while minimizing crush injury. The 8.5 cm overall length balances fingertip control with adequate reach in periocular fields.
