Precision Placement with Angled, Pointed Forceps for Gold Punctal Plugs

When inserting a gold punctal plug or a DEXTENZA® dexamethasone ophthalmic insert, surgeons need an instrument that offers exact control without compromising delicate tissue. These 4 ¼" forceps combine an angled jaw design with a narrow 0.2 mm longitudinal groove, allowing a familiar grip on tiny plugs while keeping the tip pointed rather than sharp. The flat three‑hole handle provides a stable, ergonomic hold, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive placements. The result is smoother workflow, improved accuracy, and a lower risk of inadvertent trauma to the punctal opening.

Use Cases

• Securely grasp and position gold punctal plugs during lacrimal punctum procedures
• Handle DEXTENZA® dexamethasone inserts for controlled drug‑delivery placement
• Perform delicate ophthalmic manipulations where a pointed tip minimizes tissue disruption
• Access tight operative fields in general surgery where precise instrument reach is required
