Ayer Chalazion Forceps – 8 mm Inner Diameter, 9 cm | Ophthalmic Instrument

Ayer Chalazion Forceps – Precision Ophthalmic Instrument

The Ayer Chalazion Forceps is a surgical tool that ophthalmologists use to grasp, stabilize, and evert the eyelid during chalazion excision, cyst removal, and other minor ophthalmic procedures. The instrument features a circular ring on one jaw that fits against the conjunctival surface, while the opposing solid plate applies pressure to the exterior eyelid, effectively isolating the chalazion for incision and curettage.

The 8 mm inner diameter ring is specifically sized to isolate smaller lesions while protecting the globe from inadvertent injury. Furthermore, the smooth spinning screw mechanism allows the surgeon to adjust compression precisely and maintain a hands-free grip, freeing both hands for the procedure.

Key Features of the Ayer Chalazion Forceps

• 8 mm inner diameter ring for isolating small lesions

• Solid circular plate for even compression

• Smooth spinning screw for precise, adjustable compression

• 9 cm overall length for optimal control in the periocular area

• Surgical-grade stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance

• Reusable and autoclavable for repeated clinical use

Medical Applications

Surgeons select the Ayer chalazion forceps for chalazion excision, cyst removal, and other minor eyelid procedures. The ring-and-plate design allows the surgeon to evert the eyelid and isolate the lesion while protecting the globe from inadvertent injury.

Because precise compression is critical for hemostasis and a clear surgical field, the spinning screw mechanism provides the necessary control. For related ophthalmic instruments, explore our Ophthalmic Instruments or view our Desmarres Chalazion 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 smooth screw mechanism maintains consistent tension over time. (Learn more about chalazion from Wikipedia).

Handle the instrument carefully to avoid damaging the ring or plate, as deformation may affect clamping accuracy.
