BISHOP-HARMAN 0.8 mm – 8.5 cm: a precision instrument for atraumatic fixation in ophthalmic surgery
The BISHOP-HARMAN 0.8 mm – 8.5 cm ophthalmic fixation forceps from Frimed are high-precision surgical instruments designed to meet the demands of the most delicate ophthalmic procedures. This model is particularly suitable for the atraumatic manipulation of delicate eye tissue, such as the conjunctiva or iris.
The central feature of this instrument is its serrated jaws, which have a working length of 0.8 mm. These discreet but effective serrations ensure controlled grip on tissue, preventing slippage while preserving its integrity. Unlike toothed jaws, serrated jaws allow stable fixation without perforating or marking delicate surfaces, which is essential in ocular microsurgery.
With a total length of 8.5 cm, these forceps are compact enough to be used in narrow areas and under a microscope. The open handle, with three symmetrical oval openings, makes the instrument considerably lighter while ensuring excellent grip. This ergonomic design reduces muscle fatigue for the surgeon, particularly during long or repetitive procedures.
The overall structure is made of medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring high corrosion resistance and full compatibility with autoclave sterilisation procedures. No specific coating or finish is applied to the handle, which remains smooth and free of ridges in the finger grip area.
Thanks to the balance between its serrated jaws, lightweight design and optimised manoeuvrability, the BISHOP-HARMAN 0.8 mm – 8.5 cm forceps are perfectly suited to cataract surgery, precise conjunctival procedures and vitreoretinal procedures.
It is a reliable choice for professionals looking for a stable, ergonomic and effective instrument for temporary fixation in ophthalmic surgery.
