Desmarres chalazion forceps 20.0mm solid lower plate 12.0mm x 14.0mm open upper plate, cross-action flat handle

Defined Plate Geometry for Controlled Chalazion Handling

The Desmarres chalazion forceps is a specialized ophthalmic forceps designed for handling and stabilizing the eyelid area during chalazion-related procedures. Its 20.0 mm solid lower plate and 12.0 mm x 14.0 mm open upper plate create a defined working profile, while the cross-action flat handle supports controlled instrument positioning. The configuration offers a practical option for ophthalmic work and may also fit general-surgery instrument sets where this forceps design is appropriate. Clear plate geometry can help the operator orient the instrument at the field and maintain a consistent approach during focused handling tasks.

Use Cases

• Supporting localized eyelid handling during ophthalmic procedures involving chalazion-related work.
• Using the solid lower plate and open upper plate to position the forceps around the intended working area.
• Managing focused forceps tasks where a cross-action, flat-handle configuration is appropriate.
• Including in General Surgery setups for relevant periocular or localized handling procedures requiring a Desmarres chalazion forceps.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the forceps promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care guidance.
• Inspect the solid lower plate, open upper plate, and working edges for residue, damage, or misalignment before reuse.
• Handle the cross-action flat handle carefully to preserve smooth operation and avoid unintended distortion.
• Store the forceps in a clean, protected location where the plates and handle will not be bent or damaged.
