Based on the new generation forceps we have produced a new range of capsulorhexis forceps. The unique key feature of these instruments is the equal movement of tip to handle that is only achieved through our new generation handle design. For every 1mm of movement of the handle you have 1mm of movement at the tip end, enabling the forceps to pickup and release tissue very quickly. Coupling this with a light action feel to the instrument, it gives a more controlled and less involving action.
The 'cross action' style gives adequate opening of 4.0mm at the tips whilst retaining constant width of 1.5mm at the cross over point. The cross over point is kept at the incision site and with its constant width it helps prevent leakage of viscoelastic and does not gape wound. Two designs that have different curvature and lengths allow for either corneal or scleral tunnel incision points. Fine pointed tips with interlocking serrations are angled down to give good vision whilst assisting puncturing and grasping of the anterior capsule. |
