Titanium Tennant Tying Forceps FT5-1670, FT5-1675 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 Tennant 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 Tennant Tying Forceps are named after the ophthalmologist Dr. Oliver H. Tennant, who contributed to the development and popularization of this specific type of forceps in cataract surgery. These forceps are available in both straight and curved designs, which allows for versatility in different surgical situations. 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.
