Hoffer-McPherson Corneal Forceps FS5-1215 are specialized surgical instruments commonly used in ophthalmology. These forceps are designed to grasp and hold delicate corneal tissue during various surgical procedures, such as corneal transplantations or cataract surgery. The forceps have a length of 104mm and feature 1×2 teeth that are angled at 0.12mm, allowing for a secure grip on the tissue without causing damage or trauma.
The angled design of the teeth also makes it easier for the surgeon to maneuver around the cornea and access hard-to-reach areas. The forceps are named after the two ophthalmologists, Dr. Jack Hoffer and Dr. Donald McPherson, who co-developed this instrument in the 1970s. Their design has since become a widely used tool in corneal surgery, and is appreciated for its delicate handling of sensitive tissue.
Hoffer-McPherson Corneal Forceps are essential surgical tools for ophthalmologists who perform corneal surgeries. They allow for precise manipulation and handling of delicate tissue with minimal trauma, helping to ensure successful surgical outcomes.
