Surgical Tissue Forceps 10.0 cm (4")

Precision Control for Delicate Intraocular Lens Placement

The Ernest-McDonald IOL inserting forceps provide the refined control necessary for delicate intraocular lens manipulation. Designed with polished bi-convex tips, this instrument minimizes surface friction and protects sensitive optic materials during transfer and positioning. The 4 1/8-inch length offers balanced reach for anterior segment procedures, while the cross-action jaw mechanism supports consistent, parallel closure for secure yet gentle grasping. A flat three-hole handle facilitates a stable, familiar grip, reducing hand fatigue during intricate microsurgical tasks. This configuration supports precise handling in ophthalmic workflows, allowing surgeons to maintain visual clarity and tactile feedback. By combining smooth tip geometry with reliable mechanical action, these forceps assist in maintaining lens integrity throughout the insertion process.

Use Cases

• Grasping and positioning intraocular lenses during cataract surgery procedures
• Manipulating delicate optic components with reduced risk of surface scratching due to polished tips
• Providing stable, parallel jaw closure for secure holding of folded or unfolded lens haptics
• Supporting general surgical tasks requiring fine, non-traumatic tissue or material handling

Specifications
