Product Overview
The 551224 Landers Vitrectomy Lens Forceps are high-precision posterior segment accessories characterized by their 45° angled shafts and specialized curved grooved blades. This instrument is engineered to hold and manipulate delicate vitrectomy lenses (such as Landers style contact lenses) during deep vitreous remodeling and retinal repair. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the 45° angle completely clears the patient’s brow, orbital profile, and the main surgical microscope field. The custom-contoured curved blades meet with absolute structural alignment, providing an unyielding, non-slip grasp around the lens rim to prevent intraoperative tilting or accidental lens displacement.
Key Features
-
Curved Grooved Blade Architecture: Features hand-finished, contoured jaw blades lined with specialized internal macro-grooves. This unique geometry mirrors the cylindrical curvature of standard vitrectomy lens bodies, securely locking the lens via uniform friction without scratching or damaging the optics.
-
45° Angled Shaft Geometry: The shafts are hand-set at an optimal 45-degree angle from the handle axis. This configuration elevates the surgeon’s hands away from the patient’s face, maximizes visualization, and preserves the structural clearance needed for fluid hand maneuvers under the microscope.
-
Absolute Orientation Stability: The rigid mechanical profile ensures that once the lens is locked within the grooved blades, it resists rotational and lateral forces, maintaining a perfectly centered, stable optical window into the posterior chamber.
-
Ergonomic Spring Handle: Features a lightweight, responsive spring handle integrated with strategic tactile guide scoring. This premium architecture prevents glove slippage, minimizes hand fatigue, and ensures the instrument remains completely balanced between the fingertips during high-finesse positioning.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise jaw profile, rigid alignment, and responsive spring tension through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
