Nugent Utility Forceps

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.

cross-serrated at tip, rear of jaw fluted, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Blaydes Lens Holding Forceps are a tool used primarily for cataract and IOL procedures. The very delicate narrow jaws are designed to grip the IOL firmly yet atraumatically. The cross action precision handle is complete with finger holes to give the surgeon increased control during the operation.

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.

serrated paddle jaws, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Dodick Nucleus Splitter is a commonly used tool for phacoemulsifcation. The serrated paddle jaws are designed to break up the nucleus of the lens for eventual aspiration. The splitter the features finger holes in the handle to adjust traction and grip during the procedure.
