  • Exactly right. By puncturing the anterior capsule with just one prong, all you have to do is close the forceps and by definition, you are grabbing the capsule correctly.

  • Nice demo, thanks. To be more specific - do you puncture anterior capsule with just one point of the opened forceps - then grab? Thats what it looks like and it seems to make sense - one prong below capsule, one above...squeeze and you've got capsule - right?
