    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Ptosis correction often involves frontalis suspension surgery.
    • Harvesting and manipulating the fascia lata are critical steps.
    • Existing instruments may lack efficiency for these tasks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new surgical instrument designed for frontalis suspension surgery.
    • To describe the utility of the Hecht Fascia Lata Needle Forceps in ptosis repair.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified small curved hemostat was developed.
    • The instrument facilitates lid tunneling, fascia lata grasping, and pulling.

    Main Results:

    • The Hecht Fascia Lata Needle Forceps offers a streamlined approach.
  • It simplifies the manipulation of the fascia lata during surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Hecht Fascia Lata Needle Forceps is a valuable new tool for frontalis suspension surgery.
    • This instrument enhances efficiency in ptosis correction procedures.
