Description

The Bishop-Harmon forceps is a very short forceps for eye surgery and microsurgery. At 8.6 cm it sits entirely in the fingers, with no shaft to magnify a small tremor at the tips.

Choose micro-serrated jaws for sutures and dressings, or delicate 1×2 teeth for holding conjunctiva or a tissue edge. Slightly longer, see the Iris forceps.

After use, clean the jaws with a soft brush so nothing stays in the teeth or serrations. Protect the fine tips during cleaning and storage. Supplied non-sterile: clean and sterilise before use.

Care and use

Before first use

It is supplied non-sterile. Clean and sterilise it before first use, then check that the tips meet evenly when you close it.

Cleaning

Clean it as soon as possible after use so nothing dries on. Use a neutral (pH 7) instrument detergent and a soft brush on the tips and serrations. Rinse well, ideally in distilled water, and dry completely.

What to avoid

Saline, bleach and other chloride solutions cause pitting and corrosion in stainless steel. Don't soak or rinse the instrument in them, and keep it apart from instruments made of other metals during cleaning.
