Castroviejo Suture Forceps – Angled Shaft

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.

cross-serrated at tip, rear of jaw fluted, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Blaydes Lens Holding Forceps are a tool used primarily for cataract and IOL procedures. The very delicate narrow jaws are designed to grip the IOL firmly yet atraumatically. The cross action precision handle is complete with finger holes to give the surgeon increased control during the operation.

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.

angled tipsColibri Titanium Forceps are an excellent instrument during corneal surgery. The curved tip aides in grasping corneal tissue with minimal trauma or crushing, and are also useful for corneo-scleral suturing. Two different working lengths are available with the forceps 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.
