Description

Sklar Francis Chalazion Forceps are ophthalmologic thumb forceps used to evert the eyelid and expose chalazion for drainage and removal. This instrument has two oval tips. One is solid and the other is fenestrated. The chalazion on the eyelid is isolated between the two tips and the forceps are tightened by an attached screw lock, which pushes the chalazion upwards so the procedure can be completed. The size and consistency of the chalazion are primary factors when choosing which chalazion forceps to use. Larger chalazion, as well as those with hard matter, will require larger incisions. Therefore, forceps with larger tips may be more useful. Similarly, smaller chalazion, or those determined to contain only fluid, may be excised with smaller incisions and the use of forceps with a smaller diameter. The top arm of this product angles upwards immediately after the screw lock, and then angle back down towards the fenestrated ring. They are 3-3/4 inches long. The diameter of the tips of this product is approximately 12mm x 14mm.

Frequently asked questions

Are these forceps made from durable materials?

Yes, the Sklar Francis Chalazion Forceps are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring they are durable and built to withstand the demands of clinical ophthalmic environments.

Is the tip design effective for tissue isolation?

Absolutely. The forceps feature a specialized tip configuration consisting of:

One solid oval tip
One fenestrated (open) oval tip

This design allows for the chalazion to be effectively isolated, held, and manipulated during the drainage or removal procedure.

How does the locking mechanism enhance procedural precision?

The instrument is equipped with a secure screw lock mechanism. This allows the clinician to hold the chalazion firmly in place and push the tissue upward, providing the stability and visibility needed to facilitate a smooth procedure.

Are these forceps safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, these forceps are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

Are these instruments suitable for long-term clinical use?

Yes, these are reusable instruments. Being made of surgical-grade stainless steel, they are designed for repeated use in clinical settings, provided they are properly cleaned and sterilized between procedures.

How large are the grasping tips?

The grasping tips are approximately 12mm x 14mm in diameter, which provides an ideal surface area for securing most standard-sized chalazia.

Are these forceps compliant with TAA regulations?

Yes, this instrument is TAA compliant, meeting the necessary standards for government and institutional procurement requirements.

Do these forceps arrive sterile?

No, the forceps are supplied in a non-sterile condition. They should be processed and sterilized according to your facility’s protocols before their first use.

What is the total length of the instrument?

The total length of the forceps is 3-3/4 inches (3.75 inches), which is designed for optimal handling and control by ophthalmic surgeons.

Are these designed specifically for oculoplastic procedures?

Yes, they are specialized instruments ideal for ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgical settings where precise manipulation of eyelid tissue is required for the incision and drainage of chalazia.
