Surgical Tissue Forceps Straight 12.4 cm (4.9)

Precise Prechopping Control with a Compact Titanium Design

The D&K Salvitti-Akahoshi combo prechopper forceps are designed for prechopping tasks that require a small working tip, direct access, and controlled instrument handling. Their 4 7/8-inch length and straight shafts provide a practical profile for ophthalmic workflows, while the 1.0 mm tip height supports access where a smaller tip is preferred. A temporal approach, reverse cross-action mechanism, and flat ergonomic handle help support deliberate manipulation during instrument use. Titanium construction combines a lightweight feel with a durable instrument format for repeated professional handling across appropriate general-surgery and ophthalmic settings.

Use Cases

• Support prechopping tasks in ophthalmic procedures where a small 1.0 mm tip is appropriate.
• Use the temporal approach design when working through a temporal access orientation.
• Apply the reverse cross-action mechanism for controlled opening and closing during forceps handling.
• Use the straight shafts to maintain a direct instrument profile during focused manipulation.
• Integrate into general-surgery instrument workflows when a compact prechopper forceps format is required.

Care & Reprocessing
