Sklar Ayer Chalazion Forceps, Fenestrated
A 3-1/2 inch straight, smooth forceps with one fenestrated side, used to stabilise eyelid tissue during chalazion removal and minor eye surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Ayer Chalazion Forceps is a 3-1/2 inch ophthalmic instrument with one fenestrated side, straight and smooth without a locking screw, used to stabilise and evert the eyelid during chalazion excision and other minor eyelid procedures. The fenestrated ring on one side of the forceps encircles the lesion, giving the surgeon a stable frame to work within while the opposite solid side supports the surrounding tissue, which helps keep the surgical field steady and controlled during a typically brief, in office procedure.
Because it lacks a locking screw, the surgeon holds continuous, adjustable pressure by hand rather than fixing the forceps in place, which suits the quick, controlled nature of chalazion surgery. This forceps is a routine part of eyelid minor surgery kits used by ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, and general practitioners performing lid lesion removal in clinic settings, and it is reprocessed between patients like other reusable ophthalmic instruments.
