Thornton Iol Forceps

4-1/4" (11.0 cm) Castroviejo Titanium Suturing Forceps are a multipurpose tool for a variety of ophthalmologic procedures. The heavy set teeth ensure the firm grasp of tissue or suturing equipment without slippage, while the slightly extended length aids in accessing difficult areas. The forceps are available with a tying platform, designed to grasp both the tissue and suturing equipment without changing instruments. Three different tooth sizes are available depending on surgical preference. Forceps manufactured with a lightweight, titanium alloy body offer advantages for procedures that require delicate precision. They possess greater strength and durability than stainless steel and superior resistance to corrosion, staining and pitting. Titanium forceps are almost half the weight of stainless steel, offering a more tactile feel with minimal fatigue. Finally, blue-colored tint reduces glare and the non-magnetic material resists static buildup.

w/ slide lock, 4" (10.0 cm) Berens Muscle Clamp is a unique tool designed to handle the muscle insertions of the eye. The clamp features 13.5 mm blades, wide enough to handle the extraocular and levator muscles. The teeth on the bottom blades are specially designed to avoid slipping and hold the muscle for further manipulation.

4" (10.2 cm) Arruga Capsule Forceps are a commonly used tool in cataract procedures. The forceps feature delicate spoon shaped ends used for cupping and extracting capsular fragments or commonly used for removing the nuclei fragments of the native lens.

horizontal serrations, 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) Bechert-McPherson Tying Forceps are a useful tool in ophthalmologic procedures, particularly cataract surgeries. The smooth tips are ideal for handling the anterior capsular flap during removal of the native lens as well as handling both 8-0 and 11-0 sutures. The ribbed handle provides a more ergonomic grip during the procedure.
