Cartridge Loading Forceps for ICL Surgery – Precision Ophthalmic Instrument

Precision matters at every stage of ophthalmic lens implantation, including the preparation of the lens before insertion. Stellmacher Cartridge Loading Forceps are designed to assist surgical professionals with the delicate handling and positioning of Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) during cartridge loading.

The instrument features elongated jaws with a 30-degree angled working profile, allowing controlled access when handling the lens during preparation. Its round spring handle responds to finger pressure, enabling the operator to regulate jaw movement while positioning the lens within a compatible loading system.

Made from stainless steel and measuring 120 mm in overall length, these ophthalmic forceps combine a compact profile, textured grip, and specialized jaw geometry for professional refractive surgery applications.

Key Features

• Purpose-Built Lens Handling: Designed for manipulation and positioning of an Implantable Collamer Lens during cartridge loading.
• 30° Angled Working Jaws: The angled design helps the operator approach the lens from a controlled working position during preparation.
• Extended Jaw Profile: Long, narrow jaws provide access to delicate components involved in the lens loading process.
• Spring-Controlled Handle: The round spring construction permits controlled opening and closing of the jaws with applied finger pressure.
• Textured Gripping Sections: Ribbed contact areas provide defined finger placement and support stable instrument handling.
• Stainless Steel Construction: Manufactured from a durable metal suitable for precision surgical instrument applications.
• Compact 120 mm Length: Provides a practical working size for handling the instrument during ophthalmic surgical preparation.
• Professional Ophthalmic Application: Intended for trained surgical personnel working with compatible ICL delivery systems.

Intended Use & Surgical Applications

Stellmacher Cartridge Loading Forceps are intended to assist with the manipulation of compatible implantable lenses during preparation for ophthalmic implantation. Their primary purpose is to support controlled handling of an ICL as it is transferred and positioned within the appropriate loading cartridge.

The instrument may be used during the following stages of a compatible lens preparation workflow:

• Careful handling of an Implantable Collamer Lens during surgical preparation.
• Transfer of a compatible ICL from its packaging or storage container.
• Controlled positioning of the lens within an approved loading cartridge.
• Adjustment of lens placement during cartridge preparation according to the applicable loading instructions.
• Assistance with instrument-based lens handling during refractive surgery preparation.

Compatibility Note: Not every implantable lens or cartridge system uses the same loading instruments. Verify compatibility with the lens manufacturer's instructions before using these forceps.

Designed for Controlled Cartridge Preparation

The working end incorporates slender, extended jaws with a 30-degree bend. This configuration allows the forceps to approach the loading area at an angle rather than directly along the instrument shaft.

The narrow jaw profile is intended for the handling of delicate ophthalmic implants. Appropriate contact technique and gripping pressure must be determined according to the selected lens system's handling instructions.

Spring Handle & Grip Design

The round spring handle provides a finger-operated mechanism for regulating jaw separation. Textured gripping surfaces offer defined contact points, helping the operator maintain a consistent hold while performing fine instrument movements.

The open spring configuration also makes the mechanism accessible for visual inspection before use.

Stainless Steel Construction

Stainless steel provides strength and corrosion resistance for precision medical instrumentation. The metallic surface and defined jaw construction allow the instrument to be inspected for visible damage, irregularities, or wear before use.

Its 120 mm overall length provides a compact profile for ophthalmic preparation tasks requiring close manual control.

Instrument Inspection, Cleaning & Care

• Inspect the jaw tips and alignment before every procedure.
• Check the spring handle for smooth, consistent movement.
• Avoid excessive gripping force that could damage the instrument or a delicate implant.
• Protect the long angled jaws from impacts and bending during handling and storage.
• Follow Stellmacher's validated cleaning and reprocessing instructions applicable to the supplied model.
• Remove the instrument from service if damaged or improperly functioning.

Professional Use Only: This instrument is intended for appropriately trained healthcare professionals and must be used in accordance with applicable clinical protocols and device instructions.
