Castroviejo Suture Forceps – Bayonet

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.

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.

horizontal serrations, 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) Bechert-McPherson Tying Forceps are a useful tool in ophthalmologic procedures, particularly cataract surgeries. The smooth tips are ideal for handling the anterior capsular flap during removal of the native lens as well as handling both 8-0 and 11-0 sutures. The ribbed handle provides a more ergonomic grip during the procedure.

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.
