Binkhorst Forceps

Description

Binkhorst Forceps

The Binkhorst forceps is a small eye forceps at 7.5 cm. Its name links it to anterior segment surgery. Because it is short and light, it suits fine work close to the eye. Check the Binkhorst photo for the tip shape before you order.

A compact 7.5 cm body

Short forceps sit deep in the hand. So your fingers stay near the tips, and small moves feel precise. That also leaves room under the microscope for a second instrument.

• Length: 7.5 cm
• Light, short body for close work
• Anterior segment pattern
• Ships non-sterile; reusable

Where it may fit

Surgeons use short forceps like this for fine handling during anterior segment steps. However, technique varies widely. For that reason, we suggest you compare it with your current tool before adding it to a set.

Ask before you buy

If you need a specific Binkhorst tip shape, send us a note first. Then we can confirm the details against the item in stock. In short, it is better to check than to guess with fine tools.

Small tool, careful storage

Short forceps can slip between larger tools in a tray. As a result, tips may bend. Store this one in a separate slot or a silicone mat, and always inspect the points after cleaning.

Routine reprocessing

Rinse the forceps soon after use. Next, scrub it in mild detergent using a soft brush. Finally, dry it fully and check it under magnification before you sterilize it.

Getting a Binkhorst from us

We send it non-sterile, ready for your own sterile processing. Like each forceps we stock, a Binkhorst comes with three years against manufacturing defects. Binkhorst points use stainless steel to ASTM F899. For a fine fixation option, look at the Sauer fixation forceps. See the Intrace ophthalmology range and our buyer FAQs too.
