Titanium Masket Capsulorhexis Forceps FT5-1602 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. A capsulorhexis is a surgical technique used to create a circular opening in the front portion of the lens capsule in order to remove the cataract. The Titanium Masket Capsulorhexis Forceps are designed to grasp and tear the lens capsule in a circular fashion to create this opening.

The “Masket” in the name of these forceps refers to the ophthalmologist Dr. Samuel Masket, who helped design and popularize this specific type of forceps for capsulorhexis surgery. 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.
