slightly curved jaws with platform, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm)Baird 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 forceps feature an open blade meant to encircle the cyst and tightened so the lid is everted. The model also features a locking thumb screw designed to free the surgeon's hands if desired.

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.

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.

wide handle, bayonet shape, 6.0 mm tying platform, 0.3 mm teeth, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Castroviejo Suturing Forceps are a multipurpose tool for a variety of ophthalmologic procedures. The delicate teeth are designed for the handling of fine tissue, such as corneal tissue during a keratoplasty. The forceps are available with a tying platform, designed to grasp both the tissue and suturing equipment without changing instruments. The bayonet style is ideal for difficult to reach areas and minimizes surgical obstruction during the procedure.
