Product Overview
The 651003 Capsulorhexis Forceps are high-precision ophthalmic microsurgical forceps characterized by their vaulted, micro-thin 45° angled shafts, specialized grasping tips, and an advanced round knurled cross-action handle. The innovative cross-action (reverse-action) design mechanism ensures that the instrument shafts remain completely closed at the incision point while the jaw tips open and close internally. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the 45° angle completely clears the patient’s brow and orbital profile, while the cross-action architecture eliminates wound gaping—maximizing viscoelastic retention and maintaining a stable anterior chamber—while the pencil-style round knurled handle allows for flawless fingertip rotation.
Key Features
-
Advanced Cross-Action Mechanism: Engineered with a reverse-spring crossover architecture. Pressing the handle opens the jaws inside the eye, while releasing or easing pressure closes them. This prevents the shafts from expanding at the incision site, virtually eliminating wound stretching and fluid leakage.
-
45° Angled Thin Shaft Geometry: The shafts are hand-set at a sharp 45-degree angle from the handle axis. This configuration optimizes the surgeon’s approach angle, completely clears the patient’s facial profile, and maximizes visualization under the surgical microscope.
-
Non-Compromising Cap-Grasp Tips: Hand-finished, micro-milled tips are engineered to grasp the lens capsule flawlessly without piercing or tearing prematurely. This provides the precise mechanical authority needed to control the tearing vector during critical phases of a CCC.
-
Ergonomic Round Knurled Handle: Features a lightweight, pencil-style round handle with deep diamond knurling. This advanced tactile geometry allows for seamless, “liquid-smooth” rotation between the fingertips, giving the surgeon unparalleled multi-directional control over the tearing vectors.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise tip alignment and specialized cross-tension through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
