Vitreoretinal Tissue Forceps Straight 15.9 cm (6.3)

Controlled, Fine-Scale Handling for Vitreoretinal Work

Vitreoretinal forceps are precision instruments used to grasp and manipulate delicate tissue during ophthalmic procedures, while also supporting fine handling tasks in general surgical settings. This 6 1/4-inch, 23-gauge model combines a straight profile with round gripping jaws and an 8.0mm handle to support controlled instrument positioning and consistent finger handling in confined operative fields. Titanium construction provides a lightweight instrument format for routine professional use. Its narrow gauge and focused jaw design make it suited to tasks requiring deliberate grasping, accurate placement, and careful manipulation under magnification, without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument workflow.

Use Cases

• Grasping and manipulating delicate tissue during vitreoretinal procedures.
• Supporting fine tissue-handling tasks in ophthalmic surgery where a straight forceps profile is appropriate.
• Using round gripping jaws for controlled engagement of small surgical targets.
• Supporting precision grasping and manipulation tasks in general surgical workflows.
• Working in confined operative fields where a 23-gauge instrument is selected for fine-scale access.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the forceps according to the facility's established protocols and applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the gripping jaws, straight shaft, and handle before and after use for visible residue, damage, or misalignment.
• Handle the jaws carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help preserve their gripping surfaces and alignment.
• Store the instrument in a suitable protective arrangement that prevents contact damage to the jaws and shaft.

General use; follow facility protocols.
