Sklar Baird Chalazion Forceps
A 9.6cm ophthalmic forceps with an 8mm by 12mm upper plate, used to stabilise and evert the eyelid during chalazion excision. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
6cm ophthalmic instrument fitted with an 8mm by 12mm upper plate, used to stabilise, evert, and compress the eyelid during chalazion excision and other minor lid surgery. The plate encircles or presses against the area around the lesion, providing a firm working surface that steadies the lid and helps control bleeding while the surgeon incises and curettes out the chalazion contents.
Instruments of this pattern are a mainstay of eyelid minor surgery, valued for the stability they give a normally mobile structure like the eyelid during a procedure that requires precision despite being relatively brief. This forceps is used by ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, and general practitioners performing chalazion removal in clinic procedure rooms as well as hospital day case settings.
As with other ophthalmic minor surgery instruments, it is compact, easy to sterilize, and designed for repeated use across the many chalazion cases a busy eye clinic sees.
