Abstract
Elongated generally horizontal blades are spaced apart vertically and have proximate handle end portions and distal grasping end portions. By manipulation of the handle end portions, the grasping end portions can be brought together into clamping engagement. The lower grasping end portion is return bent and includes a marginal portion offset laterally from the remainder of the lower blade. The upper grasping end portion is movable downward alongside the lower blade so as to engage against such laterally offset marginal portion of the lower grasping end portion. The composite forceps-type instrument is useful for implanting intraocular lenses during cataract surgery, particularly for positioning the superior haptic of an intraocular lens in a lens capsule.
