Frequently asked questions
Is this forceps made from medical-grade steel?
Yes, the Sklar Littauer Cilia Forceps is constructed from durable stainless steel, ensuring it is robust enough for repeated clinical use and long-term sterilization cycles.
Does the design provide a secure grip on cilia?
Absolutely. The instrument features a 4mm flat grasping surface that is equipped with fine horizontal serrations, specifically engineered to provide maximum friction and precision when securing delicate eyelashes.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for clinical environments and patients with latex sensitivities.
Can these forceps be sterilized for reuse?
Yes, these are professional-grade, reusable instruments. They are built to withstand standard medical sterilization processes, supporting consistent, long-term use in ophthalmologic settings.
Are the handles designed for ergonomic control?
To ensure maximum control during delicate procedures, the handles are slightly grooved, which helps prevent slipping and allows for a more stable, comfortable grip for the practitioner.
Is the tip design precise enough for small structures?
The Littauer pattern features a straight design with a precision-engineered tip. The design tapers carefully to the 4mm flat grasping area, allowing for excellent visibility and accuracy when manipulating fine structures.
Is this forceps TAA compliant?
Yes, the Sklar Littauer Cilia Forceps is fully TAA compliant, meeting the requirements for government procurement and high-standard clinical supply chains.
How long is the instrument overall?
The forceps measures 3-1/2 inches (approximately 8.9 cm) in total length, which is the standard size designed for optimal maneuverability and balance during ophthalmic procedures.
Does this arrive ready for immediate surgical use?
The forceps is delivered non-sterile. While it is a high-quality, factory-new instrument, it must undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocols before it is used in a clinical procedure.
Is this instrument reliable for fine ophthalmologic work?
