Jaffe Tying Forceps

slightly curved jaws with platform, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm)Baird Chalazion Forceps are a commonly used tool in diseases of the eyelid. The forceps are meant to expose a chalazion or other cysts of the lid. The forceps feature an open blade meant to encircle the cyst and tightened so the lid is everted. The model also features a locking thumb screw designed to free the surgeon's hands if desired.

wide handle, w/ out platform, 1x2 teeth, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm)Castroviejo Fixation Forceps are a useful tool in a variety of ophthalmologic procedures. The toothed design aids in the grasping and handling of the conjunctiva and episcleral tissue. In addition, the forceps may be used to hold the globe in place, aiding in other surgical maneuvers. Two different tooth sizes are available on the forceps depending on surgical preference.

4-1/4" (11.0 cm) Castroviejo Titanium Suturing Forceps are a multipurpose tool for a variety of ophthalmologic procedures. The heavy set teeth ensure the firm grasp of tissue or suturing equipment without slippage, while the slightly extended length aids in accessing difficult areas. The forceps are available with a tying platform, designed to grasp both the tissue and suturing equipment without changing instruments. Three different tooth sizes are available depending on surgical preference. Forceps manufactured with a lightweight, titanium alloy body offer advantages for procedures that require delicate precision. They possess greater strength and durability than stainless steel and superior resistance to corrosion, staining and pitting. Titanium forceps are almost half the weight of stainless steel, offering a more tactile feel with minimal fatigue. Finally, blue-colored tint reduces glare and the non-magnetic material resists static buildup.

bayonet-shaped, cross-serrated, 3" (7.5 cm) Botvin Iris Forceps are a useful tool in ophthalmologic procedures involving repair of the iris following trauma. The forceps are designed to handle the long needle necessary for iris suturing, commonly used with 10-0 polypropelene or 4-0 silk sutures. The bayonet style design is meant to minimize surgical obstruction during the operation.
