Bechert-McPherson Tying Forceps

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.

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.

serrated paddle jaws, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Dodick Nucleus Splitter is a commonly used tool for phacoemulsifcation. The serrated paddle jaws are designed to break up the nucleus of the lens for eventual aspiration. The splitter the features finger holes in the handle to adjust traction and grip during the procedure.

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.
