Product Information
Overview
Prof. Michael Amon (Austria)
My forceps needle is a significant innovation in ophthalmic
surgery that enhances the efficiency and precision
of complex procedures, particularly in IOL fixation.
It was designed to provide intraocular access like a needle
while also functioning as a forceps to grasp tissue, suture
material or haptics in a single maneuver.
2-in-1 innovation for safe IOL handling
Challenge:
Intrascleral haptic fixation of IOLs is a complex procedure that requires high precision. The use of conventional needles involves a secondary instrument inserting the haptic into its lumen, with difficulty increasing for the trailing haptic. Disengaging is also a potential risk when using conventional needles. Solution:
A combination of needle-shaped probe with internal micro-grasping forceps. The instrument provides intraocular access, grasps and secures haptics into its lumen and externalizes them, minimizing the risk of disengagement. All in one instrument, in one continuous maneuvre.

A Broad Range of Applications
– Scleral fixation of multiple IOL designs
– Iris fixation of IOLs
– Fixation of capsular tension rings
– Fixation of capsular segments
– Gore-Tex and Prolene sutures
1. Beveled needle-shaped tip with excellent piercing properties for sclerotomies and scleral tunnels
2. Micro-grasping forceps facilitate the handling of IOL haptics and suture materials
3. Secure grasping ability prevents unexpected disengaging of IOL haptics or suture materials
In Conclusion:
The instrument’s 2-in-1 design increases efficiency by enabling one-step maneuvers. This saves time in the operating room and minimizes the risk of complications
