Ophthalmology 3 1/8″ Utrata Forceps 12mm Jaw

The Ophthalmic Utrata Forceps is a precision surgical instrument designed for compatible ophthalmic and microsurgical applications. It features a 3 1/8-inch overall length and a 12 mm jaw, providing a compact configuration for controlled instrument handling.

The Utrata-style design is intended for precision-oriented ophthalmic environments where a dedicated fine forceps is required. Its specified jaw length provides a defined working profile while maintaining the compact dimensions commonly preferred for ophthalmic instrument setups.

Design and Configuration

The forceps has an overall length of 3 1/8 inches with a 12 mm jaw. These dimensions provide a compact working configuration suitable for precision ophthalmic applications.

The supplied product information does not specify the tooth pattern, jaw tip design, material, or exact handle configuration.

Utrata Working Profile

The Utrata forceps configuration is designed for controlled grasping and manipulation in compatible ophthalmic surgical applications. Its compact size allows the instrument to be handled within precision-oriented surgical environments.

The 12 mm jaw provides the specified working dimension for the forceps and should be considered when selecting the instrument for a particular application.

Ophthalmic Surgical Applications

The forceps is designed for compatible ophthalmic and microsurgical applications where controlled grasping or manipulation is required.

Potential applications include:

• Ophthalmic surgery
• Eye surgery
• Microsurgical procedures
• Precision instrument handling
• Ophthalmic surgical instrument setups

Specific clinical use depends on the procedure, surgical technique, and professional judgment.

Handling and Use Considerations

The forceps should be handled carefully to maintain proper jaw alignment and working-surface condition. Before use, inspect the jaws and handle for visible damage, deformation, corrosion, contamination, or other abnormalities.

Use should follow applicable ophthalmic surgical protocols and manufacturer instructions where provided.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, the forceps should be cleaned according to the applicable validated ophthalmic instrument-care procedure. Particular attention should be given to the jaw area and any joints or surfaces where material may accumulate.

Avoid methods that could deform or damage the precision working jaws.

Sterilization and Inspection

Where reusable processing is applicable, sterilization should follow the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol.

Before each use, inspect the forceps for cleanliness, jaw alignment, surface condition, and overall mechanical integrity.
