Surgical Tissue Forceps Angled 11.4 cm (4.5)

Precision Control for Capsulorhexis in Scleral Tunnel Procedures

Achieving a precise, circular capsulorhexis through a scleral tunnel incision demands instruments that balance reach with tactile feedback. The D&K Calladine-Inamura forceps address this challenge with a specialized 4 1/2-inch vaulted shaft design, facilitating practical reach and visualization within the anterior chamber. Angled at 45 degrees, the tips allow surgeons to maintain a comfortable hand position while manipulating the capsule edge with accuracy. Sharp, serrated interlocking tips provide familiar grip on delicate tissue, minimizing slippage during critical tearing phases. This configuration supports controlled extension of the capsular opening, helping to reduce stress on the zonules and promoting a stable environment for subsequent lens implantation steps.

Use Cases

• Performing controlled capsulorhexis through scleral tunnel incisions where angled access is required
• Grasping and tearing the anterior capsule with sharp, serrated tips for secure tissue handling
• Utilizing the vaulted shaft design to improve visualization and instrument clearance during anterior segment surgery
• Managing delicate capsular edges with interlocking tips to prevent unintended radial tears

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Inspect tips and interlocking mechanism for alignment or damage before each use
• Clean thoroughly according to facility protocols to remove biological debris from serrations
• Store in a protective case to prevent tip dulling or shaft deformation
