Hunt Chalazion Forceps | 8×11mm Oval Cups | Eyelid Procedure Instrument

Product Overview

The Hunt Chalazion Forceps with 8×11mm oval cups is a specialized surgical instrument designed for the excision of chalazia and other eyelid lesions. Featuring oval-shaped cups that measure 8mm in width and 11mm in length, this forceps provides optimal tissue stabilization and hemostatic compression during eyelid procedures. The instrument’s unique design allows for secure fixation of the eyelid while protecting underlying ocular structures, making it an essential tool for both minor office procedures and operating room surgeries.

Key Features & Benefits

Precision Engineering for Eyelid Surgery

• 8×11mm Oval Cups: Specifically sized to accommodate most chalazia while providing hemostatic compression

• Dual-Function Design: Combines lesion stabilization with vascular compression to minimize bleeding

• Flat Cup Base: Prevents globe injury by maintaining a safe distance from the corneal surface

• Oval Cup Configuration: Conforms to eyelid anatomy for secure tissue capture without slippage

Enhanced Surgical Performance

• Secure Eyelid Fixation: Stabilizes the tarsal plate for precise incision and lesion removal

• Hemostatic Compression: Cup design provides circumferential pressure to reduce intraoperative bleeding

• Optimal Exposure: Creates a stable surgical field with excellent visualization of the lesion

• Dual-Action Screw Mechanism: Allows precise adjustment of cup pressure without over-compression

Durability & Reliability

• Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: Manufactured from AISI 316L for corrosion resistance and repeated sterilization

• Precision-Machined Cups: Smooth, polished inner surfaces prevent tissue adhesion

Why Choose Hunt Chalazion Forceps?

The 8×11mm oval cup configuration represents an ideal balance between tissue coverage and surgical precision. Unlike circular cups that may inadequately compress irregular lesions or oversized cups that can traumatize adjacent tissues, the oval design conforms to typical chalazion morphology while providing effective hemostasis. The Hunt design—characterized by its robust construction and reliable screw-locking mechanism—has become a standard in ophthalmic and dermatological practice for its simplicity, effectiveness, and patient safety.

Whether performing a quick office procedure or managing recurrent chalazia in the operating room, these forceps provide the controlled compression and tissue stabilization that leads to complete lesion removal with minimal bleeding and reduced recurrence rates. The instrument’s design prioritizes both surgeon ergonomics and patient comfort, making it a versatile addition to any practice managing eyelid disorders.
