Testimonials Surgeons

Prof. Peter Stalmans – 27G Eckardt forceps
“The best instrument ever!” Ergonomics forceps perfectly in balance,shaft much stiffer than others, tip with very good and accurate grip, design very attractive. The 27 gauge forceps acts similar as the classic 23G forceps!
Dr. Andreas Mohr – 23G Asymmetrical forceps “Great experience to peel”.
Grasping platforms make it very easy to peel membrane. Due to the fantastic view on the working area it is now very easy and safe to grasp membranes form the retina.
Prof. Tunc Ovali – 27G Eckardt forceps
“Today I used the 27G ILM forceps for the first time. I’m really impressed, it’s acting like a 23G one. My congratulations.”
Prof. Ferenc Kuhn - 23G Eckardt forceps
The best forceps I ever had in my hand. The design is esthetically beautiful, the cleaning/sterilization adaptor is very practical and will avoid repair! Forceps is easy to handle, the force needed is just right, not too much and not too little resistance. The grabbing is secure, the platform is large enough to hold the tissue securely, yet it is small enough to allow the surgeon to actually see what is being grabbed.
