Titanium Utrata Capsulorhexis Forceps FT5-1603 are also surgical instruments used in ophthalmology, specifically during cataract surgery.
Similar to the Titanium Masket Capsulorhexis Forceps, the Titanium Utrata Capsulorhexis Forceps are used to perform a capsulorhexis, which 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 Utrata forceps were designed by the ophthalmologist Dr. Clarence Utrata and are often used by surgeons who prefer a different design or feel than the Masket forceps. Like the Masket forceps, the Utrata forceps are also made of titanium, which makes them lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion, important qualities for surgical instruments that will be used repeatedly in procedures such as cataract surgery.
