McPherson Tying Forceps

4" (10.2 cm) Arruga Capsule Forceps are a commonly used tool in cataract procedures. The forceps feature delicate spoon shaped ends used for cupping and extracting capsular fragments or commonly used for removing the nuclei fragments of the native lens.

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.

cross-serrated tips, 3-7/8" (9.8 cm) Bracken 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 cross-serrated tips provided additional grip and ensure minimal slippage during the procedure.

6 mm tying platform, 1.5 mm teeth, 4" (10.2 cm) Castroviejo Corneoscleral 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 and are designed specifically for coreno-scleral attachment. The forceps are available with a tying platform, designed to grasp both the tissue and suturing equipment without changing instruments.
