Sklar Arruga Capsule Forceps, Standard Curve
A delicate ophthalmic forceps with a standard curve, used by eye surgeons to grasp and manipulate the lens capsule during cataract and intraocular procedures. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Arruga Capsule Forceps is a fine ophthalmic instrument designed to grasp the lens capsule during cataract surgery and related intraocular procedures. Its standard curve gives the surgeon a natural approach angle to the anterior chamber while keeping the tips visible under the operating microscope.
Capsule forceps of this pattern are built with narrow, precisely aligned jaws so the surgeon can take hold of delicate capsular tissue without tearing it, which matters greatly during capsulorhexis and related manipulations. This instrument is used almost exclusively by ophthalmic surgeons and their scrub teams in dedicated eye theatres, where instrument sets are kept small and each piece serves a specific step of the procedure.
Because ocular tissue is thin and easily damaged, forceps like this one are handled with a light touch and are typically dedicated to ophthalmic trays rather than shared with general surgical sets. Sklar markets this piece as part of its broader ophthalmic instrument range, intended for reuse after proper sterilization between cases in hospital and day surgery settings.
