Ambler Surgical 2557E Scleral Plug Forceps Vaulted Shafts 3.5mm Spread 4-1/8"

Ambler Surgical 2557E Scleral Plug Forceps (Vaulted)

The Ambler 2557E is a specialized vitreoretinal instrument designed for the precise manipulation of scleral plugs. This instrument features vaulted shafts, which provide the necessary clearance over the patient’s brow and orbital structures, ensuring the surgeon has a high-visibility path to the surgical site. The 3.5mm jaw spread is perfectly calibrated to securely hold standard scleral plugs without slipping or causing deformation.

Built with a cross-action flat handle, the 2557E utilizes a "squeeze-to-release" mechanism that provides superior stability during the high-stakes moment of plug insertion or removal. Crafted from premium German stainless steel, these forceps are designed to withstand the rigorous sterilization demands of a high-volume ophthalmic surgery center.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Ambler Surgical

• Model Number: 2557E (Comparable to Storz MVS1046)

• Jaw Spread: 3.5 mm (Optimized for standard plugs)

• Shaft Design: Vaulted (For improved anatomical clearance)

• Handle: Cross-Action Flat Handle (Reduces hand fatigue)

• Material: High-Grade German Stainless Steel

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Enhanced Visualization: The vaulted curvature allows the instrument to "reach over" obstacles, keeping the handle and the surgeon's hand out of the direct microscopic field of view.

• Stable Cross-Action Control: The cross-action design ensures that the default state of the forceps is closed on the plug, allowing the surgeon to focus on positioning rather than maintaining grip pressure.

• Precision Plug Handling: Milled jaws provide a secure "lock" on the plug's head, significantly reducing the risk of dropping a plug into the sub-conjunctival space or onto the sterile field.

• German Engineering: Reusable design that maintains perfect jaw alignment and spring tension through repeated autoclave cycles.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Status: Mechanically sound. The cross-action spring is responsive, and the jaws provide a firm, symmetrical meet.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of wear consistent with professional surgical use, including minor surface scuffs or typical sterilization patina.

   

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated ophthalmic protocols prior to clinical use.
