Product Overview
The 551190 Lens Forceps are high-precision ophthalmic microsurgical forceps characterized by their angled shafts, specialized 1.0mm round tips, and a balanced flat spring handle. Engineered to safeguard the delicate optical qualities of modern intraocular lenses, this instrument is designed to handle lenses with absolute structural security without leaving visible imprints or structural creases. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the micro-machined 1.0mm round tips close with flawless parallelism from heel to toe. This flat, non-piercing profile delivers an ultra-secure compression hold on delicate acrylic, silicone, or PMMA materials, allowing the surgeon to guide the lens body and smoothly dial the haptics into the capsular bag with absolute tactile predictability.
Key Features
-
Specialized 1.0mm Round Tips: Features hand-polished, low-profile 1.0mm round tips designed to maximize stabilization while minimizing solid surface contact on the lens. The circular profile provides a perfect biting geometry to securely clamp the lens edge without scratching the optical surfaces.
-
Optimized Angled Shaft Geometry: The forward shafts are hand-set with a distinct upward angle. This specialized configuration completely clears the patient’s orbital rim and brow profile, provides an unobstructed line of sight under the surgical microscope, and allows for direct, unimpeded access to the anterior chamber.
-
Classic Flat Spring Handle: Designed with an ergonomic flat-profile handle featuring strategic tactile grounding zones. This premium architecture eliminates lateral twisting, mitigates finger tremors, and allows the operator to meticulously calibrate compression pressure against the fragile lens body.
-
Micro-Incision Safe Profile: The ultra-slender forward geometry minimizes structural volume within the operative zone, ensuring the instrument can be introduced and manipulated through clear corneal wounds without distorting the tissue or decompressing the chamber.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise jaw parallelism, rigid angled alignment, and responsive spring calibration through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
