These forceps are designed to be used with pre-positioned, winged cartridge IOL delivery systems. The jaws feature small paddles which stabilize and prevent upward rocking of the implant while gently sliding the IOL, positioned on a drop of viscoelastic, on the platform and into the cartridge bed. Once positioned in the cartridge bed, the forceps can be closed and positioned gently on top of the IOL to prevent the implant from folding opposite the intended direction. This instrument will work well with both acrylic and silicone implants.
