Graefe Forceps
About this item
Graefe Forceps, also known as Graefe's cataract forceps, are a surgical instrument commonly used in ophthalmic surgery or other microsurgeries handling delicate tissues. Named after Albrecht von Graefe, a German ophthalmologist who developed the instrument in the 1800s, they are typically used to remove cataracts from the eye, but may also be used for foreign body removal from the eye or repairing corneal incisions.
- Perfect for ophthalmology or fine microsurgeries on delicate tissues
- Straight or curved tips
- Stainless steel or premium German steel
The forceps may be curved or straight. A curved shape ensures more maneuverability inside the eye without causing damage to surrounding tissues. Straight Graefe forceps can be used to remove foreign objects from the eye, to manipulate the cornea during procedures such as corneal grafts, to grasp and manipulate delicate tissues during glaucoma surgery, or to manipulate or remove small pieces of tissue or membranes during retinal surgery.
These Graefe forceps have a fine (0.7 mm) tip with 1×2 teeth. (One blade has two teeth and the other has one tooth that fits perfectly into the two on the other blade when the forceps are closed.) The teeth are fine and give you precise control with minimal tissue damage without slippage. Always clean, disinfect, and sterilize your surgical instruments promptly after each use to ensure a long life for your surgical tools. These Graefe Forceps are available with curved or straight tips and in surgical grade stainless steel, or our premium German steel.
