Serrefine Forceps

14.0 mm oval lower plate, straight 9.0 mm serrated upper jaw, 4" (10.0 cm)Ehrhardt Lid Forceps are a tool used to expose the upper fornix of the eye. The forceps are commonly used to doubly evert the upper lid to gain more access to the upper fornix for examination or to retrieve foreign bodies. The forceps feature a serrated upper jaw designed to give a sure grip of lid tissue.

round handle, 6.0 mm platform w/ cross-serrations at tip, 4-1/2" (11.4 cm)Catalano Micro Tying Forceps are an ideal tool during ophthalmologic procedures and post-operative care. The micro profile along with cross serrations are ideal for gripping suturing equipment as well as delicate tissue. The extended length allows access to difficult to reach areas, while the round handle is designed to reduce physician fatigue during the procedure. The forceps are available angled or straight depending on surgeon preference.

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.

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.
