Wies chalazion forceps 15.0mm solid lower plate 9.0mm x 12.0mm open serrated upper plate, locking thumb screw flat handle

Controlled Handling for General and Ophthalmic Instrument Workflows

The Wies chalazion forceps is a specialized forceps designed for controlled grasping and stabilization during chalazion-related ophthalmic procedures and compatible general surgery workflows. Its 15.0 mm solid lower plate pairs with a 9.0 mm x 12.0 mm open serrated upper plate to provide a defined working configuration for handling within a focused field. The locking thumb screw helps maintain the selected position during use, while the flat handle supports deliberate instrument control. This configuration offers a practical balance of access, visibility around the working area, and secure manual handling without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument.

Use Cases

• Support controlled grasping and stabilization during ophthalmic chalazion procedures.
• Use the open serrated upper plate when a defined jaw pattern is preferred for instrument handling.
• Apply the solid lower plate and upper plate configuration in focused tissue-handling tasks.
• Use the locking thumb screw to help maintain the selected forceps position during a procedure.
• Incorporate the forceps into general surgery instrument workflows where its named configuration and 15 mm functional size are appropriate.
