Stock Capsular Forceps, 5 X 6 Teeth

Description

Stock Capsular Forceps, 5 x 6 Teeth

The Stock capsular forceps has 5 x 6 teeth and a 10 cm body. Its long row of teeth spreads the hold across tissue. So it grips capsule or membrane evenly, with less risk of a single point tearing.

Planning a capsule tray

Many trays carry only one capsule forceps. Because of that, the choice matters. A 5 x 6 pattern like the Stock gives the broadest bite in our range, which makes it a sound pick for one-tool sets.

Stock, Swiss or Schweigger?

Three of our capsule forceps offer 5 x 6 teeth at 10 cm. The Stock, the Swiss pattern and the Schweigger share that layout. So in practice, you choose by handle feel, by habit, or to match an older set.

What 5 x 6 teeth do

Five teeth on one jaw interlock with six on the other. As a result, the grip spreads over a wide strip. That suits thin tissue that would tear under a narrow 1 x 2 bite.

• 10 cm length
• 5 x 6 teeth for a wide bite
• Even hold on capsule or membrane
• Ships non-sterile, reusable

A light touch works best

Bring the jaws down flat before you close them. Then squeeze only enough to hold. If the tissue puckers, ease off, since too much force can still tear it even with many teeth.

Ultrasonic cleaning helps

Tight tooth rows hold debris that a brush may miss. For this reason, an ultrasonic bath is a good step after the brush. Then rinse, dry and inspect the Stock under a loupe.

Buying the Stock pattern

It ships to you non-sterile and returns to service after each cycle. Stock forceps hold three years against manufacturing defects like our other tools. For its jaws, Stock relies on stainless steel per ASTM F899. Prefer a smaller tooth row? Look at the Hess 4 x 5 capsular forceps. Our cataract instrument range and ordering FAQs cover the rest.
