Shepard Tying Forceps

slightly curved jaws with platform, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm)Baird Chalazion Forceps are a commonly used tool in diseases of the eyelid. The forceps are meant to expose a chalazion or other cysts of the lid. The forceps feature an open blade meant to encircle the cyst and tightened so the lid is everted. The model also features a locking thumb screw designed to free the surgeon's hands if desired.

angled tipsColibri Titanium Forceps are an excellent instrument during corneal surgery. The curved tip aides in grasping corneal tissue with minimal trauma or crushing, and are also useful for corneo-scleral suturing. Two different working lengths are available with the forceps 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 mm tying platform, 1.5 mm teeth, 4" (10.2 cm) Castroviejo Corneoscleral 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 and are designed specifically for coreno-scleral attachment. The forceps are available with a tying platform, designed to grasp both the tissue and suturing equipment without changing instruments.

cross-serrated tips, delicate, 3-3/8" (8.6 cm) Bergh Cilia Forceps are a multipurpose instrument for ophthalmologic procedures involving the eyelid. The forceps feature a serrated jaw that can be used for removing the cilia for trichiasis or management of blepharitis marginalis. The heavy spring pattern gives the surgeon increased power during the operation.
