Ophthalmic Surgical Applications
The Graefe Fixation Forceps is intended for ophthalmic procedures requiring controlled fixation or manipulation of ocular tissue. The non-locking design can support applications where continuous manual adjustment of the instrument is preferred.
Specific use should be determined by the ophthalmic surgeon according to the procedure and required tissue-handling technique.
Handling and Use Considerations
The forceps should be operated with controlled pressure appropriate to the intended application. Avoid excessive force that could affect the alignment or condition of the fine working end.
Before use, inspect the jaws and tips to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation. The non-locking configuration should be maintained throughout use according to the requirements of the procedure.
Cleaning and Instrument Care
Clean the instrument promptly after use following the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing protocol. Pay particular attention to the working end and jaw area during cleaning.
After cleaning, inspect the forceps for residue, deformation, corrosion, or misalignment. Proper care helps maintain the precision of the working mechanism.
