Sklar Barraquer Cilia Forceps, 4-1/4 Inch
A 4-1/4 inch fine forceps used to grasp individual eyelashes precisely during eyelid examination and minor ophthalmic procedures. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Barraquer Cilia Forceps is a fine ophthalmic instrument measuring 4-1/4 inches, used to grasp individual eyelashes precisely during eyelid examination, epilation, and other minor ophthalmic and oculoplastic procedures. Its narrow, closely aligned tips are designed to take hold of a single lash or a small group of lashes without pinching or irritating the surrounding eyelid margin, which is important given how sensitive this area of the eye is to touch.
This forceps is used when a misdirected or ingrown eyelash needs to be removed, such as in cases of trichiasis, or when preparing the lid margin for other minor surgical procedures. It is a routine instrument in ophthalmic and oculoplastic clinics, used by ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, and trained clinic staff during in office lid examinations and minor procedures.
Being a small, precision instrument, it is easy to keep sterile between patients and is a standard addition to an eyelid examination or minor surgery tray.
