Sklar Barraquer Anterior Chamber Forceps
A fine 2-1/4 inch ophthalmic forceps used to grasp delicate tissue or material within the anterior chamber during intraocular surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Barraquer Anterior Chamber Forceps is a fine ophthalmic instrument measuring 2-1/4 inches, used to grasp delicate tissue, membranes, or foreign material within the anterior chamber of the eye during intraocular surgery. Its small size and precise jaw design are suited to the confined space of the anterior chamber, where instruments must be introduced through a small corneal or limbal incision and manipulated with minimal movement to avoid damaging surrounding structures such as the iris, lens, or corneal endothelium.
This forceps is used by ophthalmic surgeons during procedures such as cataract surgery, anterior chamber lens manipulation, and management of anterior segment complications where fine intraocular grasping is required. As with other precision ophthalmic instruments, it is built to be introduced and withdrawn through a very small surgical opening without disturbing the wound architecture.
It is a standard component of ophthalmic surgical trays, kept alongside other anterior segment instruments, and reprocessed with the careful handling standards applied to fine ophthalmic surgical tools.
