Surgical Ophthalmology Instruments
Our category of ophthalmology surgical tools includes:
Ocular Forceps
Whether you need to grip tissue during surgery or help keep eyelids open for ophthalmic examination, forceps can assist you through any procedure. Some of the most common forceps are:
- Cilia forceps: Help surgeons manipulate or remove eyelashes from the eyelid margin. We have forceps with straight and angled tips and variations, including smooth and serrated tips.
- Iris forceps: Suitable for holding the delicate iris tissue after incisions. Our iris forceps come with full-curved, half-curved and straight tips.
- Chalazion forceps: Help ophthalmologists drain and remove chalazion from the inner eyelid. gSource offers Lambert and Hunt chalazion forceps with varying ring sizes for optimal grip and drainage.
Eye Scissors
Our eye scissors come in multiple variations to support dissecting, suture cutting and tissue removal. Some of the scissors in our inventory include:
- McPherson Westcott conjunctival scissors: Surgeons use these scissors to dissect the delicate tissue of the conjunctiva and cornea. They have curved and blunt tips and a fenestrate squeeze handle that offers more control and grip.
- Westcott tenotomy scissors: These scissors can dissect membranes, muscle tissue and skin. Tenotomy scissors feature narrow, curved blades that improve operational accuracy.
- Vannas micro scissors: Vannas scissors are used in microsurgeries. The sharp tips offer increased dissection precision.
Foreign Body Spuds
With foreign body spuds, ophthalmologists can remove foreign substances embedded in the eyes. These spuds are designed with blunt blades to minimize the likelihood of tissue trauma. Types of spuds include:
- Ellis foreign body spud: The Ellis spud has a rounded tip that ensures easy scooping and capturing of foreign bodies.
- Davis foreign body spud: The Davis spud features a long straight shank that ensures zero obstruction of sight during operations.
Needle Holders
Needle holders are ideal for suturing in multiple ocular surgeries. From cataract removals to retina surgeries, our ophthalmic needle holders can help you efficiently wrap up any procedure. Needle holders we carry include:
- Barraquer needle holder: Comes with a locking mechanism that ensures needle stability throughout the surgery.
- Castroviejo needle holder: This tool used by ophthalmologists has a spring handle that bounces back to shape after you let go.
- McPherson needle holder: The McPherson needle holder features smooth tips and has no locking mechanism to allow for more maneuvering control.
