standard handle, heavy, 1x2 angled teeth, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm) Elschnig Fixation Forceps are ideal for holding in place tissue during ophthalmologic procedures.

The handle features finger holds for adjusting grip and traction during the procedure.

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.

The forceps are designed to handle the long needle necessary for iris suturing, commonly used with 10-0 polypropelene or 4-0 silk sutures. The bayonet style design is meant to minimize surgical obstruction during the operation.
