Iris Forceps, 10cm, Serrated Tips

Iris forceps are a pair of surgical forceps (tweezers) often used in ophthalmic procedures. In the early 1800s, a Johann Friedrich Horner, a German ophthalmologist, began design surgical instruments specifically for use in the eye. The result of his work became one of the earliest iris forceps. Iris forceps are a small pair of forceps with a fine pointed tip for grasping delicate tissue with minimal trauma. The narrow, serrated jaws of the surgical forceps allow for fine manipulation of structures like the iris of the eye. Researchers like these fine tipped tweezers for precision work in microdissection. These forceps are 10cm long with 0.8mm tips, and they come with straight or curved tips. The Iris Forceps are manufactured with surgical grade stainless steel or premium German steel, both of which are autoclavable. WPI recommends properly cleaning all your surgical instruments promptly after use. This improves the useable lifespan of your surgical tools.
