Frequently asked questions
Are these forceps suitable for delicate surgical procedures?
Yes, absolutely. The Foerster Ophthalmic Tissue Forceps are specifically engineered for delicate tissue manipulation. The fine 1x2 tooth configuration provides a secure grasp without causing unnecessary trauma, making them an excellent choice for intricate ophthalmic work.
Is this instrument designed for repeated sterilization cycles?
