    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microsurgery
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Corneal and cataract surgeries require precise tissue handling.
    • Existing surgical forceps may present limitations in achieving adequate tissue fixation.
    • Accurate suture placement is critical for successful surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel microsurgical modification of the Rizzuti scleral fixation forceps.
    • To enhance tissue fixation during corneal and cataract surgeries.
    • To facilitate accurate suture placement.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of Rizzuti scleral fixation forceps.
    • Incorporation of Bonn 0.12-mm teeth.
    • Angled handle design with a specific curve between teeth.
