Product Overview
The 856040 Capsulorhexis Forceps are hyper-precision ophthalmic microsurgical forceps characterized by their smoothly curved shafts, fine grasping jaws, and a perfectly balanced ergonomic spring handle. Engineered explicitly without a cystotome tip, this instrument is designed for surgeons who prefer creating the initial capsular puncture with a separate needle or cystotome, utilizing these forceps strictly for the high-finesse tearing and propagation phase. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the micro-machined tips close with flawless micrometric alignment. The curved shaft geometry seamlessly conforms to the natural anatomical vault of the anterior chamber, enabling smooth, rotational tear tracking through clear corneal micro-incisions without stretching the wound margins.
Key Features
-
Atraumatic High-Friction Grasping Tips: Features hand-honed, low-profile grasping jaws designed without an aggressive cystotome edge. The interior faces meet with absolute parallelism, delivering a reliable, slip-free friction hold on the ultra-thin capsule membrane without causing premature radial tears.
-
Anatomically Curved Shaft Geometry: The forward shafts are engineered with a smooth, optimized curvature that matches the vaulting of the anterior chamber. This allows the surgeon to pivot the instrument freely within a deep or shallow chamber while clearing the patient’s brow and orbital rim.
-
Micro-Incision Safe Vaulting: The ultra-slender, streamlined diameter of the forward shafts ensures the instrument glides seamlessly through clear corneal incisions as small as 1.8mm, minimizing viscoelastic leakage and preserving chamber stability during the tear.
-
Ergonomic Spring Handle: Features a lightweight, responsive spring handle integrated with strategic tactile guide scoring. This premium grip architecture prevents glove slippage, eliminates lateral twisting, and provides exceptional tactile feedback under high magnification.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise jaw alignment, rigid shaft curvature, and responsive spring calibration through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
