Description

Subretinal & ILM Instruments:
 

1031  Offset Gripping Forceps  

Short jaws with asymmetrical gripping platform. 

Platform is pointed to one side for precise grasping along the retina surface.  Platform ensures excellent grip with great visibility.

 

 

1035  Long Angled Scissors

Sharp tipped horizontal style scissors with thin blades angled 135°, 3.5mm from the tip. 

Long, thin blades allow access through retinotomy for cutting and dissection in the subretinal space.  Smooth angle minimizes risk of damage at heel.  Excellent for cutting retinal adhesions during translocation procedures.  Also great for cutting vitreous traction during en bloc resections for diabetic traction detachment cases.  

 

 

1036  Angled Long Gripping Forceps

Delicate forceps with jaws angled 135°, 3mm from the tip. 

Long thin jaws are ideal for grasping subretinal membranes through a small retinotomy.  Smooth curved surface at heel to reduce possible damage to the choroid during use.  

 

 

1037  Fine Gripping Forceps

Fine 3.5mm long jaws with small platform at each tip.

Blunt tipped forceps with small angled platforms for precise grasping of thin membranes near the macula.  Angled platforms enable gripping directly from the retina surface while allowing good visualization of the tips.  Excellent for ILM peeling.

 

 

1038  Ducournau Fine Gripping Forceps

Delicate forceps angled 135°, 3.5mm from the tip. 

Long thin jaws are ideal for grasping subretinal membranes through a small retinotomy.  Tip has a small pick for accurate grasping of membranes without damage to surrounding tissue.  Ideal for pinch peeling in macular pucker cases.   Smooth curved surface at heel to reduce possible trauma during use.

Developed in collaboration with Didier Ducournau, M.D., Nantes, France.

 

 

1050  Naito ILM Forceps

1350  Naito ILM Forceps (Titanium Jaws)  

Fine 3.3mm long jaws with a 0.7mm pick at the tip. 

Designed to enable picking and peeling of the ILM.  Shaft and tip have a non-glare finish to reduce reflected light from the microscope.

Developed in collaboration with Dr. Naito, Assistant Professor, Tokushima University Hospital, Japan.

 

 

1051  Naito Subretinal Forceps

Very delicate long forceps angled 135°, 4.5mm from the tip. 

Long thin jaws allow the surgeon to grasp neovascular membranes without damage to the surrounding tissue.  Long jaws allow access deep into the subretinal space.  Shaft and tip have a non-glare finish to reduce reflected light from the microscope.   Excellent for peeling of the ILM.

Developed in collaboration with Dr. Naito, Assistant Professor, Tokushima University Hospital, Japan.  

 

 

1053  Delicate Grasping Forceps

Delicate 3.5mm long, straight forceps with fine platform at each tip. 

Very delicate forceps for precise grasping of thin membranes in the macular region, particularly in cases with detached retina.  The jaws taper towards the tip for improved visualization.

Developed in collaboration with Professor Jean-Paul Berrod, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Nancy, France  

 

 

1703  Pointed End Gripping Forceps 20/23g Tapered Shaft  

Fine pointed forceps with platform.    

Pointed tip for precise grasping from the retina surface with excellent visibility.  Platform for enhanced grip strength. 

 

 

1739  Serrated ILM Forceps 20/23g Tapered Shaft  

Shortened serrated forceps with pick at tip 

Small pick at tip to lift membrane and serrated jaw for excellent grip strength to remove ILM or epiretinal membranes.

 

 

2099  ILM Pick  

Micro pick for lifting an edge in removal of ILM or other membranes.
