9 cm DESMARRES forceps: surgical control of chalazions
The Frimed 9 cm DESMARRES chalazion forceps are a surgical instrument used in ophthalmology for eyelid procedures, particularly when excising or draining a chalazion. This inflammatory cyst, located in the Meibomian gland, requires extreme precision during treatment. The DESMARRES forceps provide excellent stabilisation of the eyelid while allowing direct visibility of the area to be treated.
This model is distinguished by its oval, asymmetrical jaws, one of which is solid and the other fenestrated. This configuration allows the chalazion to be placed in the opening of the fenestrated jaw for easy access, while applying gentle but constant pressure with the solid jaw on the outside. This device enables a clean incision with minimal bleeding and better control of the surgical procedure.
With a length of 9 cm, these forceps are ideal for delicate procedures, particularly in paediatric ophthalmic surgery or on thinner eyelids. Its compact shape also facilitates work in a restricted surgical field. Unlike some models of chalazion forceps, this version does not have a ratchet locking system, allowing the surgeon to adjust the pressure more freely and immediately according to the patient's morphology and intraoperative needs.
Made of stainless steel, the DESMARRES forceps are designed to withstand autoclave sterilisation, ensuring perfect hygiene and long durability. They also feature ribbed handles for better grip with gloves. Their ergonomic design reduces the risk of slipping and allows for stable handling throughout the procedure.
The 9 cm DESMARRES forceps are an essential tool for ophthalmic surgeons, combining simplicity, efficiency and precision. They allow optimal exposure of the chalazion without traumatising the surrounding tissue, contributing to the quality of the surgical procedure and patient comfort. Its size and unique shape make it easily identifiable among other ophthalmic forceps with the same name but different dimensions or designs.
