Product Overview
The 551218 Ciliary Forceps are high-precision ophthalmic forceps characterized by their broad, flat-profile clamping jaws mounted to a lightweight flat handle. Engineered specifically for cilia extraction (epilation) and localized foreign body removal, the interior working surfaces of the jaws are micro-planed to meet with flawless parallelism. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, this structural design eliminates tip gaping, delivering an unyielding “dead-lock” hold on ultra-fine hair shafts or rigid materials. This ensures a clean traction force that pulls the follicle smoothly from the root without shearing or breaking the shaft.
Key Features
-
Parallel-Matching Clasping Jaws: Features wide, blunt tips engineered with microscopic precision to close perfectly flush from heel to toe. This flat profile maximizes the surface contact zone, allowing the surgeon to securely trap ultra-fine or brittle eyelashes with total technical predictability.
-
Non-Shearing Friction Hold: The smooth, hand-polished jaw face provides an immense friction grip that holds fine hairs via uniform compression rather than sharp biting surfaces, completely preventing the premature fracturing of cilia during extraction.
-
Ergonomic Flat Handle: Designed with a classic, low-profile flat spring handle with strategic corrugated scoring. This provides an ultra-stable tactile interface that prevents glove slippage and ensures the instrument remains perfectly balanced between the fingertips during micro-extraction maneuvers.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise jaw alignment and spring tension through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
