Description
ECKARDT ENDGRIP FORCEPS are precision instruments meticulously designed for delicate ophthalmic surgical procedures, particularly in the realm of vitreoretinal surgery. These micro forceps are specialized for tasks such as peeling the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and the epiretinal membrane (ERM), providing surgeons with the finesse required for intricate membrane manipulation.
Key Features
- End-Gripping Tip Design: The forceps feature an end-gripping tip that allows for precise, perpendicular engagement with the retina, enhancing control and reducing the risk of tissue damage.
- Enhanced Grasping: With wider tips and shorter branches, these forceps improve surface grasping and holding power, minimizing tearing and promoting safer membrane peeling.
- Squeeze Handle Actuation: The ergonomic design includes a squeeze handle for easy actuation, with some models offering a 360-degree rotatable handle for added convenience.
Advanced Cleaning Options
Certain models are equipped with a flushing system, such as the RUMEX Flushing System, to maintain cleanliness during use. Additionally, some models feature detachable tips compatible with flushing adapters, facilitating thorough cleaning and extending the instrument's lifespan.
