Meet the Amon Forceps Needle (27G) – now available across Europe.

Developed with Prim. Univ. Prof. Dr. Michael Amon (Austria), this single-use instrument is now officially CE-certified – and redefining IOL fixation techniques across Europe.

This 2-in-1 innovation:

• Combines needle and forceps functions

• Enhances control and precision in the OR

• Reduces surgical time and complications

Particularly suited for anterior segment surgeons using intrascleral techniques like Yamane.

A Broad Range of Applications

• Scleral fixation of multiple IOL designs

• Iris fixation of IOLs

• Fixation of capsular tension rings

• Fixation of capsular segments

• Gore-Tex and Prolene sutures

Features of the Amon Forceps Needle

1. Beveled needle-shaped tip with excellent piercing properties for sclerotomies and scleral tunnels
2. Micro-grasping forceps facilitate the handling of IOL haptics and suture materials
3. Secure grasping ability prevents unexpected dis­engaging of IOL haptics or suture materials

The instrument’s 2-in-1 design increases efficiency by enabling one-step maneuvers. This saves time in the operating room and minimizes the risk of complications.

This isn’t just an instrument – it’s a significant advancement in surgical control, safety, and standardization.
