Akahoshi Tissue Forceps Angled 11.4 cm (4.5)

Delicate Angled Access for Controlled Capsulorhexis Handling

Akahoshi MICS capsulorhexis forceps are designed to grasp and manage the capsule during capsulorhexis, providing a delicate instrument for controlled work through limited access. Their 4 3/8-inch length, angled shafts, and 11.0 mm reach from bend to tip support access and positioning where a straight approach may be less convenient. Delicate, sharp cystotome tips are identified for use with sub 2.0 mm incisions, while the flat handle provides a familiar surface for instrument control. The design suits ophthalmic workflows and can also support general-surgery instrument handling where delicate forceps are appropriate.

Use Cases

• Performing capsulorhexis tasks in ophthalmic procedures requiring delicate forceps handling.
• Approaching work through sub 2.0 mm incisions with sharp cystotome tips.
• Using the angled shafts to access and position the tips where a straight approach is less convenient.
• Managing delicate grasping tasks with the 11.0 mm reach from bend to tip.
• Supporting general-surgery workflows involving fine forceps handling, subject to procedure-specific selection and facility protocols.
