Delicate Angled Control for Precise Surgical Handling

Hoffer-McPherson forceps are surgical forceps designed for controlled grasping and positioning during general surgery and ophthalmic procedures. This 3 7/8-inch pattern combines angled shafts with delicate 0.12 mm, 1x2-tooth jaws to support access and secure handling where a fine working profile is useful. The 11.0 mm tying platforms provide a defined working area, while the flat 3-hole handle offers a practical grip configuration for instrument manipulation. Together, these features support organized handling across tasks that call for careful tissue positioning, focused access, and dependable control without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument.

Use Cases

• General surgery tasks requiring delicate grasping, positioning, or tissue handling with a 1x2-tooth forceps pattern.
• Ophthalmic procedures where angled shafts can help approach the working area while maintaining a clear line of handling.
• Fine dissection and manipulation workflows that benefit from a delicate 0.12 mm jaw profile.
• Suturing or tying tasks using the defined 11.0 mm tying platforms.
• Procedural setups requiring a flat 3-hole handle for controlled instrument handling.
