THIS IS PRECISION
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE
Designed to increase surgical precision.
The FINESSE® SHARKSKIN® ILM Forceps feature:
- A laser-ablated microsurface designed to support atraumatic ILM peel initiation1
- Optimized grasping platform and angled tip closure to help mitigate membrane shredding2
THE FINESSE® SHARKSKIN® ILM FORCEPS ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ATRAUMATIC PEELING
Together, the micro sctructured surface and conforming grasping platform are designed to improve ILM peeling while mitigating potential damage to the retina.
Conformal Tip Design
The optimized tip design conforms to the curvature of the retina.2
Laser-ablated microstructures
Microstructures are engineered to enhance kinetic friction between tissue and the forcep tip.1
Larger platform
A 59% larger grasping platform in 27+® Ga is designed to decrease the closing angle and mitigate membrane shedding.1,2,3

GRIESHABER® DSP IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION
Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician. Indications for Use: GRIESHABER® DSP instruments are a line of single-use vitreoretinal microinstruments which are used in ophthalmic surgery, for cases either in the anterior or the posterior segment. The GRIESHABER® Advanced Backflush Handles DSP are a family of instruments for fluid and gas handling in vitreoretinal surgery.
Warnings and Precautions:
- Potential risk from reuse or reprocessing GRIESHABER® DSP instruments include: foreign particle introduction to the eye; reduced cutting or grasping performance; path leaks or obstruction resulting in reduced fluidics performance.
- Verify correct tip attachment, function and tip actuation before placing it into the eye for surgery.
- For light fiber instruments: Minimize light intensity and duration of exposure to the retina to reduce risk of retinal photic injury. The light fiber instruments are designed for use with an ALCON® illumination source.
- Good clinical practice dictates the testing for adequate irrigation and aspiration flow prior to entering the eye. If stream of fluid is weak or absent, good fluidics response will be jeopardized.
- Use appropriate pressure supply to ensure a stable IOP.
- If unwanted tissue gets engaged to the aspiration port, it should be released by interrupting aspiration before moving the instrument.
ATTENTION: Please refer to the product labeling for a complete listing of indications, warnings, and precautions.
