Titanium Kelman-McPherson Tying Forceps FT5-1630 are surgical instruments used in ophthalmology, specifically during cataract surgery.
During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. The Kelman-McPherson Tying Forceps are designed to grasp and manipulate sutures that are used to secure the artificial lens in place.
The forceps have a delicate design with fine tips and a small jaw, which allows for precise manipulation of the sutures. The use of titanium in the construction of these forceps makes them lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion, which is important for instruments that will be used repeatedly in surgical procedures.
The Kelman-McPherson Tying Forceps are named after the ophthalmologists Dr. Charles Kelman and Dr. Graeme McPherson, who contributed to the development and popularization of this specific type of forceps in cataract surgery. The forceps are a specialized tool used by some surgeons to secure the artificial lens during cataract surgery, ensuring that it remains in the correct position in the eye.
