Utrata Capsulorhexis Forceps – Angled Curved, Round Handle, 11.5 cm | Titanium Ophthalmic Instrument

Utrata Capsulorhexis Forceps – Precision Ophthalmic Instrument

The Utrata Capsulorhexis Forceps is a highly specialized ophthalmic surgical tool that cataract surgeons use to perform the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). This critical step involves tearing a circular opening in the anterior lens capsule to access and remove the cataractous lens.

The unique angled-curved jaw design allows the surgeon to grasp and tear the capsule with controlled precision, maintaining a smooth continuous edge. Furthermore, the fine, delicate tips minimize the risk of accidental radial tears. The instrument is crafted from premium titanium, making it lightweight and highly resistant to corrosion, which is ideal for repeated ophthalmic use.

Key Features of the Utrata Capsulorhexis Forceps

• Angled curved jaws for precise capsule grasping and tearing

• Titanium construction for lightweight durability and corrosion resistance

• Round handle with a textured grip for secure, ergonomic control

• 11.5 cm overall length for precise access to the anterior chamber

• Reusable and autoclavable for repeated clinical use

Medical Applications

Surgeons select the Utrata capsulorhexis forceps specifically for cataract surgery and other anterior segment procedures. The angled jaws allow the surgeon to approach the capsule from a comfortable angle, while the fine tips provide the tactile feedback necessary to control the size and shape of the capsulorhexis.

Because a well-controlled capsulorhexis is critical for successful intraocular lens (IOL) placement, this instrument is a standard part of the ophthalmic surgical tray.

Durable Titanium Design

Manufacturers construct the instrument from high-grade titanium, which offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resists corrosion from repeated sterilization and exposure to surgical fluids. The textured round handle ensures a secure grip even when wet. (Learn more about cataract surgery from Wikipedia).

Handle the instrument carefully to protect the fine, angled jaws, as even slight bending can affect the precision required for capsule grasping.
