The Giannetti Capsulorrhexis Forceps combines the look, feel and balance that cataract surgeons are accustomed to with the delicacy required for micro incision procedures. It features very thin shanks that are less than 1mm wide in the closed position and are limited to a maximum spread of 1.75mm. The extremely small, delicate tips can be used to make the initial tear as well as to grasp the capsule while performing a capsulorrhexis through a 1.5mm micro incision. The shanks are angled and vaulted to provide better access to the capsule without stretching the incision, and the 8.5mm diameter round handle is ergonomically designed for better control.
