Update in the Uses of Chalazion Clamp in Dermatological Procedure Revisited.

Abstract

Chalazion clamp has a distal tip with a flat oval plate; other side has a ring-like structure and forceps-like handle. Handle has a thumbscrew, which can be tightened and released so as to achieve the required pressure. Available in various sizes. Used mainly in ophthalmological procedures primarily. Used in dermatology by modifying its technique and creating an adequate hemostasis in various diagnostic and interventional procedures. In the previous article chalazion clamp was used for preparing SSS for ear lobule, so this article revisited the uses of chalazion clamp in dermatology and extended use in the preparation of adequate blanching while preparing SSS from the peripheral tissue site.
