Bechert-McPherson Tying Forceps

3.5" (8.9 cm)Desmarres 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 ring blade of the forceps surrounds the cyst and tightened so the lid is everted. Three different ring sizes are available depending on the patient.

0.12 mm angled 45 degrees, 6.0 mm tying platform, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Colibri Type Corneal Utility Forceps are a commonly used instrument for handling the corneal tissue during keratoplasty or repair. These forceps feature fine 0.12 teeth for the manipulating delicate tissue during cornea-scleral suturing, while the 6.0 mm tying platform allows for the handling of both tissue and sterile material. Finally, a ribbed handle provides a secure grip during the procedure.

cross-serrated tips, delicate, 3-3/8" (8.6 cm) Bergh Cilia Forceps are a multipurpose instrument for ophthalmologic procedures involving the eyelid. The forceps feature a serrated jaw that can be used for removing the cilia for trichiasis or management of blepharitis marginalis. The heavy spring pattern gives the surgeon increased power during the operation.

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.
