Castroviejo-Arruga capsule forceps 4" vaulted shafts 10.0mm from bend to tip 2.5mm cup jaws flat handle

Controlled Capsule Handling with a Compact, Accessible Profile

The Castroviejo-Arruga capsule forceps are designed for grasping and manipulating capsule tissue where a compact instrument and focused jaw profile support careful handling. Their 4-inch length, vaulted shafts, and 10.0 mm distance from bend to tip provide a defined working geometry for access within the operative field, while the 2.5 mm cup jaws support targeted tissue engagement. The flat handle offers a familiar surface for instrument control during detailed work. Suitable for general surgery and ophthalmic workflows, this forceps configuration helps keep capsule handling deliberate and organized without adding unnecessary instrument bulk.

Use Cases

• Grasp and manipulate capsule tissue during ophthalmic procedures requiring a compact capsule forceps.
• Support controlled capsule handling in general surgery workflows where cup jaws are appropriate for the task.
• Use the vaulted shafts to approach the working area while maintaining the instrument's defined bend-to-tip geometry.
• Apply the flat handle for steady manual control during detailed tissue-handling tasks.
• Use the 2.5 mm cup jaws for focused engagement of capsule tissue rather than broad-area grasping.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Inspect the cup jaws for alignment, damage, or debris before and after use.
• Check the vaulted shafts and flat handle for damage that could affect handling.
