Product Overview
The 651071 ICL Cartridge Loading Forceps are hyper-precision ophthalmic microsurgical forceps characterized by their reverse-engineered cross-action shafts and specialized lens-safe jaws. Engineered explicitly to meet the ultra-high finesse requirements of phakic IOL surgeries, this instrument features a reverse-spring mechanism—the jaws remain locked closed until the handles are compressed. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the micro-machined jaw tips close with flawless, calibrated parallelism, delivering an automated, unyielding “dead-lock” hold on the exceptionally fragile, fluid-slick collamer material. This eliminates the risk of lens slippage or hand fatigue, enabling the surgical team to smoothly guide the lens through the loading tunnel of the injector cartridge with absolute structural stability.
Key Features
-
Automated Cross-Action Mechanism: Designed with a reverse-spring cross-over configuration. The instrument applies continuous, pre-calibrated closing pressure automatically, locking onto the collamer lens hands-free and allowing the operator to focus entirely on precise cartridge tracking.
-
Atraumatic Collamer-Safe Jaws: Features hand-polished, ultra-smooth interior jaw faces configured specifically for the unique material dynamics of implantable collamer lenses. The non-serrated geometry completely eliminates the risk of scratches, structural creases, or haptic shearing.
-
Precision Cartridge-Tunnel Clearance: The forward shafts and jaws are engineered with a specialized, ultra-slender external profile. This streamlined architecture allows the forceps to pass deep into the injector cartridge tunnel to grab the lens lead and pull it securely into place.
-
Ergonomic Spring Stability: Designed with a perfectly balanced spring handle featuring strategic tactile grounding zones. This premium architecture eliminates lateral twisting, mitigates finger tremors, and provides exceptional tactile feedback during high-finesse preparation.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise jaw parallelism, cross-action pivot alignment, and calibrated tension through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
