    A novel foreign-body forceps features diamond-coated jaws for secure intraocular foreign body retrieval. Its self-closing mechanism ensures a firm grip on diverse materials.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) pose significant risks to vision.
    • Current retrieval methods can be challenging due to the varied nature and shape of IOFBs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a novel forceps designed for improved IOFB retrieval.
    • To highlight the unique features of the forceps, including its gripping and holding capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a new foreign-body forceps.
    • Incorporation of diamond-coated jaws for enhanced grip.
    • Integration of a self-closing mechanism for secure material holding.

    Main Results:

    • The forceps demonstrates the ability to grasp and securely hold intraocular foreign bodies.
