Titanium McPherson Tying Forceps FT5-1650, FT5-1655 are surgical instruments used in ophthalmology, specifically during cataract surgery.
During cataract surgery, an artificial lens is placed in the eye to replace the cloudy lens that was removed. The McPherson Tying Forceps are used to 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 McPherson Tying Forceps are named after the ophthalmologist 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.
