Kelman-McPherson Corneal Suturing Forceps

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.

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.

w/ platform, 1x2 teeth, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm)Castroviejo 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. Four different tooth sizes are available depending on surgical preference.
