Abstract
A microsurgical forceps having a first handle and a second handle coupled to the first handle at a hinge point is disclosed. The first handle includes a cannula for transporting surgical fluid and a first jaw with an aperture for delivering the fluid. The second handle includes a second jaw for cooperating with the first jaw. The first handle may include a second cannula for fluidly coupling to a vacuum source. The first jaw may also include a second aperture for delivering vacuum. The forceps may be used to more effectively position an intracorneal optical lens in an intracorneal pocket.
