Product Overview
The 651090 Florakis Endothelial Forceps are high-precision ophthalmic microsurgical forceps characterized by their ultra-slender, vaulted shafts and specialized, atraumatic gripping tips. Engineered specifically to facilitate the “pull-through” technique in endothelial keratoplasty, this instrument enters the anterior chamber through a baseline incision to securely grasp the edge of the donor graft. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the micro-machined jaw tips close with flawless parallelism, providing a secure, slip-free lock on the donor tissue. This allows the surgeon to smoothly guide and center the fragile endothelial button without inflicting mechanical trauma or cell loss to the delicate graft.
Key Features
-
Atraumatic Graft-Grasp Geometry: Features hand-finished, low-profile jaw tips engineered to provide a uniform compression grip. This design minimizes focal tissue compression, protecting the highly sensitive endothelial cell layer from premature damage or shearing.
-
Optimized Pull-Through Architecture: The slender, vaulted forward shafts are mechanically calibrated to glide smoothly through corneal micro-incisions, allowing for effortless intraocular manipulation and positioning without distorting the wound or decompressing the chamber.
-
Enhanced Stereoscopic Visualization: The low-profile shaft width minimizes the structural footprint inside the operative zone, ensuring the surgeon maintains a completely clear, unobstructed line of sight through the surgical microscope.
-
Ergonomic Spring Handle: Designed with a classic, lightweight spring handle featuring strategic tactile grounding zones. This premium architecture eliminates lateral twisting, mitigates finger tremors, and provides exceptional tactile feedback during high-finesse tissue handling.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise tip configuration and highly responsive spring calibration through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
