Serrefine Forceps
10.0 mm tying platform, 1.0 mm of tip cross-serrated, angled, 3-1/8" (8.0 cm)Serrefine Forceps are a commonly used tool in a number of ophthalmologic procedures. The forceps are designed to clamp off bleeding points from micro vessels during an operation. The forceps are available in two different blade lengths as well as straight or curved models as desired.
Shaped Peripheral Vascular Clamp
Shaped Peripheral Vascular Clamp
jaws 8.5 cm, 8" (20.0 cm)
DeBakey "S" Shaped Peripheral Vascular Clamp is ideally suited for use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures. The S-shape allows this instrument to fit snugly along the contour and curvature of vessels without damaging the vessel wall. This clamp can be used to reduce or stop blood flow in peripheral vessels so as to avoid excessive bleeding.
Sheets Iris Hook
0.3 mm hook w/ guard, 5-1/8" (13.0 cm)Â Sheets Iris Hook is a commonly used tool during cataract procedures and operations needing access to the lens capsule. The 0.3mm hook provides extra fine control in retracting only the desired portion of iris. In addition, the hook comes available with a guard to protect from damaging surrounding tissue.
Sheets-McPherson Tying Forceps
10.0 mm tying platform, 1.0 mm of tip cross-serrated, angled, 3-1/8" (8.0 cm)Â Sheets-McPherson Tying Forceps are a useful tool in ophthalmologic procedures, particularly cataract surgeries. The 1.0mm cross serrations at the tip provide increased grip for handling the anterior capsular flap during removal of the native lens. The ribbed handle provides a more ergonomic grip during the procedure.
Shepard Intraocular Lens Forceps
curved shafts, slide lock, 1.5 mm upper & 2.0 mm lower serrated jaws, 3 5?8" (9.2cm)Â Shepard Intraocular Lens Forceps are a unique tool used in artificial lens implantation techniques. The cross action jaw combined with serrated tips help in the controlled grasping of the IOL. The rounded soft curve of the forceps aids in gripping the IOL with minimal damage or alteration. In addition, the forceps feature finger holes in the handle to adjust traction and grip during the procedure.
Shepard Iris Hook
1.0 mm, blunt, 4-7/8" (12.4 cm)Â Shepard Iris Hook is a commonly used tool in cataract surgeries. The hook is used to retract a portion of the iris tissue to gain access to the lens capsule. Often, multiple hooks are used at different positions around the iris and anchored, providing adequate visualization for lens removal. The hook features a blunt tip to minimize extraneous tissue damage.
Shepard Tying Forceps
wide handle, 4.0 mm tying platform, 4-1/4" (10.8 cm)Â Shepard Tying Forceps are a useful instrument in a variety of cataract procedures for both the handling of delicate capsular tissue and suturing equipment. The wide handle and 4.0 mm tying platform allows for deft handling of both eye tissue and sterile material. Straight and 45 degree angled profiles are available depending on surgical preference.
Shepard-Westcott Tenotomy Scissors
blunt tips, serrated upper blade, 20.0 mm from screw to tip, curved, 4-7/8" (12.4 cm)Â Shepard-Westcott Tenotomy Scissors are a commonly used tool in ophthalmologic surgeries. The scissors are designed to cut the insertion of the extra-ocular orbital muscles. This is accomplished by placing one blade of the scissors behind the tendon. The scissors feature blunt tips to reduce damage to the surrounding orbital tissue. Additionally, the serrated blades help grasp tissue to minimize slippage.
Simcoe Lens Loop
double ended, 4.0 mm x 20.0 mm serrated loops, 5-1/2" (14.0 cm)Â Simcoe Lens Loop is a useful tool in a variety of cataract and lens extraction procedures. The loop features a wider set cup to scoop the lens for extraction. The serrated wire aids in gripping the lens to prevent the lens from slipping into the vitreous. The double-ended design allows the surgeon to adjust during the procedure as needed.
Sinskey Tying Forceps
micro tip with 7.0 mm tying platform, straight, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm)Â Sinskey Tying Forceps are a commonly used ophthalmologic instrument, particularly in cataract operations. The forceps are ideal for handling 8-0 to 11-0 sutures. The micro tip is designed to give the surgeon maximum control during the procedure, while the platform allows the simultaneous handling of tissue and suturing material.
