Angled Suturing Control for General and Ophthalmic Workflows

Kelman-McPherson suturing forceps are designed for grasping and positioning suture material during surgical tasks where controlled handling and access are important. The 3 7/8-inch angled shafts help place the working end within the operative field while maintaining a practical hand position, and the 0.3 mm 1x2-tooth pattern supports engagement of suture or tissue during manipulation. An 8.0 mm tying platform provides a defined area for tying, while the flat 3-hole handle supports familiar instrument handling. Suitable for general surgery and ophthalmic workflows, this forceps design brings focused control to suturing steps without adding unnecessary bulk.

Use Cases

• Grasp and position suture material during general surgery suturing tasks.
• Support controlled tissue or suture handling using the 1x2-tooth jaw pattern.
• Reach working areas with the angled shaft design while maintaining instrument access.
• Use the 8.0 mm tying platforms when managing knot-tying steps.
• Apply the forceps within ophthalmic suturing workflows where a narrow 0.3 mm working profile is relevant.

Care & Handling

• Clean and process the forceps according to the facility's instrument reprocessing protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the teeth, angled shafts, tying platforms, and handle before and after use for residue, damage, or distortion.
• Handle the 1x2-tooth jaws carefully to help preserve their working alignment.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the jaws, shafts, and tying platforms from contact damage.

General use; follow facility protocols.
