Titanium IOL (Intraocular Lens) Holding Forceps FT5-7070 is a surgical instrument used in ophthalmic microsurgery for cataract procedures.
During a cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens known as an intraocular lens (IOL). The Titanium IOL Holding Forceps FT5-7070 is specifically designed to hold and position the IOL during the surgery.
The 20 gauge size of the forceps refers to the diameter of the instrument, which is larger than other ophthalmic microsurgical instruments. The larger size of the forceps allows for a more secure grip on the IOL, which can be thicker and heavier than other delicate tissues in the eye. The titanium construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal material for surgical instruments.
