Controlled Access for Intraocular Lens Handling
The Thornton intraocular lens forceps are designed for controlled handling and positioning of intraocular lenses during ophthalmic procedures, while their forceps format also supports applicable instrument handling tasks in general surgery. Measuring 3 3/8 inches with an angled profile and 11.0 mm flat, smooth jaws, the instrument provides a practical combination of reach and contact surface for work in confined operative areas. Its cross-action, flat 3-hole handle supports a familiar grasp and controlled actuation, helping clinicians manage the instrument through delicate handling steps without adding unnecessary complexity to the workflow.
Use Cases
- Handle and position intraocular lenses during ophthalmic procedures.
- Use the angled profile to approach targets where a straight instrument may provide less convenient access.
- Apply the flat, smooth jaws for controlled contact with an intraocular lens during handling.
- Use the cross-action handle for repeated opening and closing during instrument manipulation.
- Support applicable forceps handling tasks within general surgery workflows.
