FIELD: ophthalmology, in particular, treatment of eyes.
SUBSTANCE: L-shaped forceps has two branches with stop for blocking at predetermined mutual arrangement, and working parts formed as transverse jaws. Jaws are connected with branches through single-sided end arced curvatures. Inoperative ends of branches are interconnected by means of detachable connection. Jaws have outer radial surfaces for receiving of tarsal plate at side opposite to branch side and at opposite side with respect to branches, said surfaces being made in the form of guides for cutting instrument adapted to correct upper eyelid ptosis. Jaws are provided with tissue retaining protrusions having elongated bases oriented transverse to branches and equipped with openings for receiving said protrusions. Single-sided end arced curvatures have grooves and/or gap for receiving instrument for forming orbital plica conjunctiva and upper tarsal muscle. Such construction provides for improved engagement of clamping instrument with tissues under operation.
EFFECT: increased efficiency of operative intervention owing to engagement of forceps with other instruments commonly used for correction of upper eyelet ptosis.
