Forceps

Katena introduces a new delicate forceps developed by Dr. Mikio Inamura to perform a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis through a small incision. The fulcrum of the cross-actioninstrument is smoothly finished and designedto seal the incision, thereby minimizing fluid loss during the capsulotomy. The short distance from the fulcrum to the tips helps to maintain tip alignment. The instrument is available in two lengths, 10 mm for clear cornea incisions and 12 mm for scleral incisions.
