Sklar Merit Bishop-Harmon Forceps, 1x2 Teeth
A Sklar Merit Bishop-Harmon iris forceps, 3-1/2 inches, straight with 1x2 teeth and smooth jaws, used to grasp delicate ocular tissue during eye surgery.
The Bishop-Harmon forceps is a fine ophthalmic instrument with a flattened handle and a small 1x2 toothed tip, designed to give the surgeon precise, gentle control when grasping delicate structures such as the iris or conjunctiva during eye surgery. This Sklar Merit version measures 3-1/2 inches with straight, smooth jaws behind the tip, one of two tooth pattern options offered in this listing alongside a serrated variant, giving the surgical team a choice based on the specific tissue being handled.
Ophthalmic surgeons use forceps of this pattern throughout cataract, corneal and other anterior segment procedures wherever a light, controlled grasp is needed on fine, easily damaged tissue. The small footprint and flattened handle allow the surgeon to hold and rotate the instrument with fine finger movements rather than a full hand grip.
It should be cleaned and sterilised between uses following standard ophthalmic instrument reprocessing protocols.
