Controlled Prechopping Access in a Compact Forceps Design

Kavanagh MICS prechopper forceps are designed for controlled prechopping through a small incision, combining 4 3/4-inch straight shafts with cross-action jaws and broad platform tips. The 1.5mm profile supports access through a 1.5mm incision, while the round handle provides a familiar grasp for precise instrument manipulation. This configuration can support focused handling in ophthalmic procedures and selected general surgery workflows where compact access and dependable jaw positioning are important. Straight shafts help maintain a direct working orientation, while the broad tips provide a defined contact platform during prechopping tasks.

Use Cases

• Prechopping tasks requiring cross-action jaw movement through a 1.5mm incision.
• Ophthalmic workflows involving compact-access instrument handling and controlled tip placement.
• General surgery settings requiring a forceps-format instrument for focused manipulation through a small access point.
• Procedures where straight shafts help maintain a direct working orientation.
• Tasks benefiting from broad platform tips for a defined contact area during prechopping.
