In our previous post we shared an example of operating with 12-4013-25H End-Grasping Forceps with RUMEX flushing system. Dr. Alex Alfaro, M.D. has demonstrated how to use it for Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM) peeling.

The end-grasping forceps features a squeeze handle with RUMEX Flushing System for easy cleaning without disassembling. The main component of the system is a 25 Ga side port for flushing that allows cleaning the tube without any stress to the jaws – as flushing liquid streams inside the tool towards the most delicate tip of the instrument softly washing it inside. Another component is a flushing cannula provided free with every instrument.

ASCRS 2026 in Washington is now behind us.

Over the course of several busy days, we had the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, meet new contacts, and have a number of meaningful conversations – from quick introductions to more in-depth discussions.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by. Whether you came with a specific question or just a bit of curiosity, we appreciate the time.
It was encouraging to see strong interest across our portfolio – from reusable and disposable surgical instruments to consumables. The feedback we received was thoughtful, direct, and valuable, giving us clear direction for further development.

A special thanks to the Lions World Vision Institute for the collaboration on the CAIRS Treatment Set, as well as for hosting a well-structured and practical wet lab during the congress.
