Product Overview
The 651161 Lenticule Removal Forceps are hyper-precision ophthalmic microsurgical forceps characterized by their angled shafts, specialized serrated jaws, and a premium Castroviejo spring handle. Engineered explicitly to overcome the technical challenges of modern minimal-incision lenticule extractions, this instrument is designed to slide seamlessly through corneal side-cuts as small as 2.0mm. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the micro-machined jaw tips close with flawless micrometric alignment. The interior jaw faces feature ultra-fine micro-serrations that provide a slip-free, high-traction hold on the incredibly slick, microscopic corneal tissue layer, enabling a smooth, single-gesture extraction without tearing the lenticule or distressing the cap interface.
Key Features
-
Micro-Serrated Jaw Architecture: Features hand-finished, low-profile jaws lined with ultra-fine, microscopic serrations. This specialized texturing delivers a reliable, high-friction hold on thin intrastromal tissue layers, preventing structural slippage even when slick with balanced salt solution (BSS).
-
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 deep stromal pocket.
-
Premium Castroviejo Spring Handle: Equipped with a wide-profile, cross-serrated Castroviejo spring handle. This architectural platform provides an exceptionally stable grounding surface for the surgeon’s fingertips, effectively absorbing hand micro-tremors, preventing lateral twisting, and allowing for meticulous compression calibration.
-
Atraumatic Peripheral Buffing: While the internal jaw faces provide immense traction, the outer edges of the tips are hand-beveled and polished completely smooth. This guarantees that the instrument can enter and manipulate within the corneal pocket without scratching the cap or scratching the surrounding healthy stroma.
-
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.
