Ahmed Tissue Forceps Angled 10.8 cm (4.2)

Controlled Tube Handling for Surgical and Ophthalmic Workflows

The Ahmed valve tube insertion forceps is a specialized forceps designed to hold and position a tube during insertion procedures, helping provide controlled handling in general surgery and ophthalmic workflows. Its 4 1/4-inch length and angled shafts support access where a straight approach may be less convenient, while the 1.0 mm grooved tip is shaped for secure tube holding. A flat handle supports familiar instrument manipulation, and the titanium construction offers a lightweight option for repeated professional handling. The compact working tip is suited to tasks that require deliberate positioning and careful control without changing instruments unnecessarily.

Use Cases

• Hold an Ahmed valve tube securely during positioning and insertion in ophthalmic procedures.
• Support controlled tube handling when an angled shaft can improve approach to the working site.
• Use the grooved tip to help maintain contact with the tube during delicate positioning tasks.
• Provide a dedicated forceps option for general surgical workflows involving small tube components.
• Use the flat handle for steady instrument manipulation during insertion-related handling.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the forceps according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
