Where the Barraquer fits
At 7 cm, this Barraquer sits at the short end. Therefore, it suits surgeons who rest the hand close to the eye. It also fits well when the microscope sits low.
Typical tasks
Use it to hold a wound edge while you place a suture. Also, it can steady the globe during a small incision. Still, keep a tying forceps for knots, since fine teeth can fray suture.
Barraquer heritage
The Barraquer family of surgeons in Barcelona shaped much of modern corneal practice. So their name appears on speculums, scissors and forceps. This Colibri version adds a fine forceps to that line.
Care between cases
Clean the tip as soon as you can. Then dry it and check the teeth under magnification. Finally, store it in a guard, apart from heavy tools.
