Bishop-Harmon Iris Forceps – Precision Ophthalmic Instrument
The Bishop-Harmon iris forceps is a specialized ophthalmic surgical tool that surgeons use for grasping and manipulating the iris during anterior segment procedures. The instrument’s fine, toothed tips allow for secure handling of delicate iris tissue without causing excessive trauma.
The straight tips with 1×2 teeth and 0.7 mm width are designed to grip the iris securely while minimizing tissue damage. Furthermore, the flat, fenestrated handle reduces the instrument’s weight and provides a comfortable, stable grip during extended procedures. The 9 cm overall length offers precise maneuverability in the confined space of the anterior chamber.

Medical Applications
Surgeons select the Bishop-Harmon iris forceps for iris manipulation during cataract surgery, iridectomy, iris repair, and other anterior segment procedures. The fine teeth allow the surgeon to grasp the iris edge without crushing the tissue, which is critical for proper healing and surgical outcomes.
Because precise iris handling is essential for successful anterior segment surgery, the fenestrated handle helps maintain steady control during delicate maneuvers. For related instruments, explore our Ophthalmic Instruments or view our McPherson Corneal Forceps.
Durable Stainless Steel Design
Manufacturers construct the instrument from surgical-grade stainless steel, which resists corrosion and holds up across repeated sterilization cycles. The fine teeth and straight tips are precision-engineered to maintain their shape and alignment over time, ensuring reliable grasping performance.

Handle the instrument carefully to protect the fine, toothed tips, as even slight bending can affect the precision required for iris grasping.
