Capsule forceps are specialized instruments used in eye surgery, particularly for procedures involving the lens capsule of the eye. They are primarily designed to remove the lens capsule – a thin, transparent membrane surrounding the eye's lens – piece by piece or to precisely open it. These forceps are indispensable in cataract surgery (treatment of cloudy lenses) and the implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Slim Build: Capsule forceps are characterized by their slender and fine design, which allows access to the confined space of the eye without damaging surrounding tissue.
Sharp Tips: The tips are typically sharply ground to enable precise and controlled cuts or grasping motions. This is particularly important to avoid injuring the delicate lens capsule.
Ergonomics: The handles are often anatomically shaped, providing surgeons with comfortable handling and optimal control during procedures.
Materials: Made from stainless surgical steel, capsule forceps are durable, sterilizable, and corrosion-resistant.
Capsule forceps are primarily used in the following procedures:
Cataract Surgery: For removing the cloudy lens and opening the lens capsule to make space for the implantation of an artificial lens.
Intraocular Lens Implantation: For the precise placement of the lens within the capsule.
Capsulorhexis: For creating a circular opening in the anterior lens capsule, a critical step in modern cataract surgery.
