Description

Graefe Fixation Forcep

Intrace USA engineers the Graefe Fixation Forcep to grasp and stabilize ocular tissue during ophthalmic procedures, with a fine, tapered tip for a secure hold and precise control. It is available in With Spring Catch and Without Spring Catch configurations, both at an 11.0cm length, so surgical teams can match the instrument to their preferred technique. Because every unit goes through inspection before it ships, Intrace USA can back it with dependable, consistent performance.

Key Features of the Graefe Fixation Forcep

• Available With Spring Catch and Without Spring Catch
• Fine, tapered tip for secure tissue fixation
• Consistent 11.0cm length for stable, comfortable handling
• Durable stainless steel construction for long service life

Who Uses This Instrument, and Why

Ophthalmic surgeons reach for this instrument during cataract and anterior segment procedures, where the fine tip holds tissue steady without slipping. The spring catch option lets the jaws lock closed hands-free once engaged, which some surgeons prefer for sustained fixation, while the version without a spring catch offers simple, direct control.

Care and Maintenance

To keep this instrument performing reliably, clean it promptly after each use following your facility’s protocol, and inspect the tip and, where applicable, the spring catch mechanism regularly for wear or misalignment. Proper sterilization between uses, along with routine inspection, helps preserve both function and lifespan, keeping the tip true and the mechanism responsive over years of repeated use.

Compliance and Quality

The Graefe Fixation Forcep is manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and inspected before shipping. Learn more on our FAQs page, browse our full Ophthalmology Instruments category, or review general guidance from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
