Gerten Tissue Forceps Angled 14.0 cm (5.5)

Precision Control for Delicate Anterior Segment Procedures

Executing precise capsulorhexis or graft manipulation in DSAEK and DMEK procedures demands instruments that balance stability with minimal tissue trauma. The Gerten rhexis forceps address this need through a specialized design featuring reverse triangular tips that provide familiar grip without excessive compression. The 23-gauge angled shaft enhances visualization by keeping the handpiece out of the surgical field, allowing clear access to the anterior chamber. With a total length of 5 5/8 inches, this instrument offers practical reach and leverage for ophthalmic surgeons. The round squeeze handle supports comfortable, fatigue-resistant control during delicate maneuvers, supporting consistent performance in both general surgical and specialized ophthalmic environments where precision is paramount.
