Drews-Maumenee Colibri Forceps FS5-1159 are also a type of surgical forceps used in ophthalmology. These forceps are similar to the Maumenee Colibri Forceps, but with a small handle for easier grip by surgeons with smaller hands or for use in procedures where space is limited.
Like the Maumenee Colibri Forceps, the Drews-Maumenee Colibri Forceps are also used to grasp delicate tissues in the eye during surgical procedures, such as cataract surgery, corneal transplants, and retinal surgery. The 90-degree angled tip of the forceps allows for greater precision and control when working in the confined space of the eye, and the 0.1mm tip allows for a very fine grip.
The overall length of the forceps (117mm) is the same as the Maumenee Colibri Forceps, but the small handle provides a more comfortable and secure grip for the surgeon. The forceps are named after Dr. Hans-Joachim Drews, a German ophthalmologist who also developed several surgical instruments for use in eye surgery.
