Pinnacle 25ga End-Grasping Forceps 09.12.25PIN, Disposable Vitreoretinal Instrument

Pinnacle 25ga End-Grasping Forceps | 0.5 mm | 09.12.25PIN

The Pinnacle 09.12.25PIN is a high-performance vitreoretinal instrument engineered for 2026 standards in posterior segment surgery. Specifically designed for Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM) peeling and the management of ultra-thin epiretinal membranes (ERM), these forceps provide the tactile sensitivity and stability required for work in the delicate foveal region.

The Pinnacle series is distinguished by its 360-degree squeeze handle, which eliminates the ergonomic "blind spots" found in traditional lever-style instruments. This allows the surgeon to actuate the jaws from any rotational position, ensuring a natural hand posture during complex macular maneuvers.

Key Performance Features

• Stay-Put Tip Technology: Engineered with a synchronous jaw closure mechanism that prevents the distal tip from "crawling" or advancing during actuation. This ensures the forceps grasp the membrane exactly where they are placed, significantly reducing the risk of iatrogenic retinal trauma.

• 360° Squeeze Handle: The fully rotatable actuation collar allows the surgeon to close the forceps from any hand position. This ergonomic flexibility is vital for maintaining a steady trajectory during high-magnification peeling.

• Optimized End-Grasping Jaws: The fine-tapered tips are designed to provide a broad, secure grasping surface for flat membrane edges, facilitating a continuous "maculorhexis" without the membrane shredding or slipping.

• Glare-Resistant Matte Finish: The instrument shaft and distal jaws feature a specialized anti-reflective treatment. This minimizes light scatter from the surgical microscope and endoilluminator, preserving high-contrast visualization of transparent tissue edges.

• Minimally Invasive 25G Profile: The 0.5 mm diameter is optimized for 25-gauge MIVS, offering a smooth interface with standard valved trocars while providing enough shaft rigidity for peripheral vitrectomy support.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Enhanced Procedural Safety: The precision-aligned jaws and stationary closure mechanism are specifically designed to minimize retinal "pinching," making this instrument ideal for surgeons transitioning to ultra-fine 25G and 27G platforms.

• Tactile Feedback: Despite being a disposable instrument, the Pinnacle series is engineered to provide the high-sensitivity tactile feedback typically associated with reusable titanium instrumentation.

• Logistical Efficiency: Sourcing genuine Pinnacle overstock allows vitreoretinal departments to maintain the highest standards of MIVS precision while eliminating the logistical burden and micro-alignment risks associated with reprocessing reusable forceps.

Ideal Applications

• Macular Hole Repair: Targeted initiation and peeling of the ILM.
