Bishop-Harmon Forceps

Description

Bishop-Harmon Forceps are specialist surgical instruments used for sensitive tissue manipulation and gripping in ocular operations, notably in the anterior chamber.

Purpose:

• During eye procedures, you must grasp and handle delicate tissues such as the iris, dressings, and sutures.
• Precision tips make them useful for microdissection (research applications).

Design:

• Small and delicate forceps, often about 8-9 cm in length.
• Straight shaft with sharp points for reaching restricted areas.
• A flat, three-finger hole handle allows for a comfortable grasp and control during surgery.
• Available with two tip variations:
• Serrated Tips: Provide a firm grasp on tissues.
• 1 by 2 teeth: Provide a gentle grasp that causes little tissue stress.

Benefits:

• Designed for non-traumatic manipulation of fragile tissues within the eye.
• Fine tips provide accurate manipulation in a narrow surgical region.
• The three-finger hole handle increases control and mobility.
• Made with high-quality materials such as surgical grade stainless steel or titanium to ensure durability and sanitation.

Applications:

• Primarily used in ocular procedures such as iridectomy.
• Can be used in various treatments that need sensitive tissue manipulation.
