Wies chalazion forceps 15.0mm solid lower plate 9.0mm x 12.0mm open serrated upper plate, locking thumb screw flat handle

Controlled Handling for General and Ophthalmic Instrument Workflows

The Wies chalazion forceps is a specialized forceps designed for controlled grasping and stabilization during chalazion-related ophthalmic procedures and compatible general surgery workflows. Its 15.0 mm solid lower plate pairs with a 9.0 mm x 12.0 mm open serrated upper plate to provide a defined working configuration for handling within a focused field. The locking thumb screw helps maintain the selected position during use, while the flat handle supports deliberate instrument control. This configuration offers a practical balance of access, visibility around the working area, and secure manual handling without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument.

Use Cases

• Support controlled grasping and stabilization during ophthalmic chalazion procedures.
• Use the open serrated upper plate when a defined jaw pattern is preferred for instrument handling.
• Apply the solid lower plate and upper plate configuration in focused tissue-handling tasks.
• Use the locking thumb screw to help maintain the selected forceps position during a procedure.
• Incorporate the forceps into general surgery instrument workflows where its named configuration and 15 mm functional size are appropriate.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the forceps according to applicable facility protocols and the instrument manufacturer's instructions.
• Inspect the serrated upper plate, solid lower plate, thumb screw, and handle for soil, damage, or impaired movement before use.
• Handle the plates and serrated surfaces carefully to avoid unnecessary contact or impact that could affect alignment.
• Store the forceps in a manner that protects the plates, locking mechanism, and working surfaces from damage.

General use; follow facility protocols.
