Aguilar Tissue Forceps Straight 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Prechopping for Ophthalmic Cataract Workflows

The Aguilar MICS prechopper forceps is a 4 3/4-inch ophthalmic forceps designed for prechopping cataract material in close-access surgical workflows. Its straight shafts support direct positioning, while the cross-action jaws and beveled blades are configured for chopping anterior and posterior surfaces. The named application includes grade III, IV, and V cataracts, giving ophthalmic teams a purpose-specific option within their instrument setup. As a forceps-format instrument, it can also be considered within General Surgery workflows when its configuration matches the procedure and facility protocol. The design supports deliberate handling and focused manipulation without adding unnecessary instrument complexity.

Use Cases

• Use in ophthalmic cataract workflows involving grade III, IV, and V cataracts.
• Position the beveled blades for chopping anterior cataract surfaces.
• Use the same blade configuration for chopping posterior cataract surfaces.
• Apply the cross-action jaws when controlled prechopper handling is required.
• Include within General Surgery instrument workflows when the procedure calls for this forceps configuration.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument instructions for use.
• Inspect the straight shafts, cross-action jaws, and beveled blades before and after use for visible soil, damage, or impaired movement.
• Handle the beveled blades carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect their working edges.
• Store the forceps in a manner that protects the jaws and blades from contact with other instruments.
