Pelion Capsulorhexis Forceps
Cataract & Refractive Syrgery Today April 2003

Pelion Surgical LLC (Aiken, SC), a new instrument company, has designed a capsulorhexis forceps for microincisional cataract surgery.

The forceps features “micro-fine” tips on a 23-gauge shaft that allow the forceps to be used through a sideport incision.
The device’s unique, angulated tips provide greater visibility and allow the surgeon to perform the initial puncture and capsulorhexis with a single instrument. A squeeze-style handle provides a secure grasp for a controlled tear. According to Pelion, the forceps’ titanium handle ensures rust-free function, and the device is guaranteed for life against defects in material or workmanship.
