Description

The Bishop-Harmon Iris Forceps are expertly crafted surgical instruments designed for precision in ophthalmic procedures. These forceps are essential for surgeons who require meticulous handling of delicate tissues such as the iris, making them ideal for eye surgeries, microdissection, blepharoplasty, plastic surgery, and small animal surgery.

Key Features

• Tip Design: The forceps feature fine, long, straight tips that allow for deep penetration and precise work in small surgical fields. They are available with either serrated tips or a 1x2 teeth configuration, providing a secure, atraumatic grasp on delicate tissues.

• Handle Design: The ergonomic spring handle includes fenestrations for enhanced finger support, offering an adjustable grip that reduces hand fatigue. The serrated design ensures superior control, minimizing the risk of slippage.

• Length Options: Available in lengths of 8.5 cm, 8.6 cm, and 9 cm, these forceps cater to various surgical needs.

Material and Finish

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, premium German stainless steel, or titanium, these forceps are built for durability and performance. The titanium variant offers unique benefits such as being 100% non-corrosive, non-magnetic (MRI compatible), and 40% lighter than stainless steel. It also features tungsten carbide-coated tips for increased grip and an anodized non-glare blue finish. The satin or stain finish on other models reduces glare during procedures.

Durability and Maintenance

These forceps are designed for long-term use, being corrosion-resistant and reusable. They are supplied non-sterile but are fully autoclavable, ensuring easy sterilization. Each instrument is CE marked, signifying adherence to high-quality standards.

Ergonomics and Handling

The lightweight design, aided by handle fenestrations, provides easy and comfortable handling. The three finger holes on the handle allow for an adjustable grip, enhancing precision and reducing fatigue during intricate surgical tasks.

Applications

The Bishop-Harmon Iris Forceps are versatile tools suitable for various surgical applications, including ophthalmic surgery (such as anterior chamber procedures, iris manipulation, and iridectomy), microsurgery, blepharoplasty, and small animal surgery. Their handcrafted construction ensures the precision and reliability that surgeons demand in critical operations.
