Swiss Cilia Forceps
precision-fitted diagonal jaws, 3.0 mm, 3-3/4" (9.5 cm)Â Swiss Cilia Forceps are a multipurpose instrument for ophthalmologic procedures involving the eyelid. The forceps feature a diagonal jaw that can be used for removing the cilia for blepharoplasty or management of blepharitis marginalis. In addition, the forceps are commonly used to remove splinters and foreign bodies around the lid and other parts of the globe.
Temporal Wire Speculum
14.0 mm wide w/ spread of 43.0 mm Temporal Wire Speculum is a commonly used ophthalmologic tool when visualization of the entire globe is desired. Both end pieces of the blade can be fit into the upper and lower lid respectively to achieve a needed spread. The wire design ensures minimal tissue damage while still maintaining a firm grasp of the lid without slippage. Three different blade styles are available depending on surgical need.
Tennant Titanium Tying Forceps
w/ guide pin & platform Tennant Titanium Tying Forceps are a particularly useful ophthalmologic tool, particularly during corneal graft transplant. Commonly, the forceps are used with either a six or four-wire needle. Curved Tennant forceps are ideal for burying sutures with the eye fixed to maintain proper graft topography, and a straight profile forceps is 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.

6.0 mm smooth platform, 4" (10.0 cm)Â Tennant Tying Forceps are a particularly useful ophthalmologic tool, particularly during corneal graft transplant. Commonly, the forceps are used with either a six or four-wire needle. Curved Tennant forceps are ideal for burying sutures with the eye fixed to maintain proper graft topography, and a straight profile forceps is available depending on surgical preference.

Thornton Iol Forceps
angled 45 degrees, smooth flat cross-action handle, 11.0 mm jaws, 3-1/2" (9.0 cm)Thornton IOL Folding Forceps are a unique tool used in artificial lens implantation techniques. The forceps are designed to fold the IOL either horizontally or longitudinally to allow for easier implantation. The rounded soft curve of the forceps aids in gripping the IOL with minimal damage or alteration. In addition, finger holes on the handle allow the surgeon to adjust grip and traction during the procedure.
Thorpe Conjunctival Fixation Forceps
2x3 teeth, w/ platform, 3-3/4" (9.5 cm)Â Thorpe Conjunctival Fixation Forceps are ideal for holding in place tissue during ophthalmologic procedures. The delicate teeth on the forceps are ideal for handling and fixing the conjunctiva and episcleral tissue. Two different tooth sizes are available on the forceps depending on surgical preference.
Titanium Barraquer Needle Holder
medium jaws, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm)Â Barraquer needle holder is a often used tool in postoperative management of ophthalmologic surgeries. The holder may be used for suturing the conjunctiva, sclera, or extraocular muscles. This model features 11 mm jaws for use with standard or fine suturing needles. A locking mechanism is included to free the surgeon's hands as desired. 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.
