Product Overview
The 551135 Notched Forceps are high-precision ophthalmic microsurgical forceps characterized by their micro-scaled 0.25mm notched tips, integrated tying platforms, and 45° angled shafts. Unlike traditional toothed forceps that pierce tissue, the hand-milled notch design cradles and compresses delicate structures uniformly, achieving a secure “dead-lock” hold. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel and mounted to an ultra-tactile flat handle, this instrument provides a “liquid-smooth” response during high-magnification corneal, scleral, or conjunctival closure.
Key Features
-
Micro-Scale 0.25mm Notched Tips: Engineered without sharp teeth to minimize focal stress. The 0.25mm notch geometry interlocks perfectly around tissue walls, providing the mechanical authority to fixate, lift, and stable-hold tissue without tearing or slippage.
-
Dual-Function Integrated Tying Platform: The distal working zone features precision-ground, flat tying platforms just behind the notched tips. This allows the surgeon to effortlessly transition from tissue manipulation to running or tying ultra-fine sutures (such as 9-0 to 11-0 monofilaments).
-
45° Angled Straight Shafts: The shafts are hand-set at a 45-degree angle, optimizing the surgeon’s approach and maximizing visibility under the surgical microscope. This configuration clears the brow and orbital rim, allowing for non-obstructive access to the wound site.
-
Ergonomic Flat Handle: Designed with a classic, low-profile flat handle featuring strategic cutout recesses or texturing. This provides a highly balanced, lightweight feel, preventing finger fatigue and ensuring the instrument remains completely stationary against lateral rotation.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise tip alignment and tension balance through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
