摘要：
A membrane removing forceps may include a plurality of forceps jaws and a plurality of membrane hooks. Each membrane hook may have a membrane hook outer height. Each membrane hook outer height may be less than the average thickness of a membrane, e.g., each membrane hook outer height may be less than the average thickness of an internal limiting membrane. A surgeon may pierce a membrane wherein only the membrane hooks penetrate the membrane, e.g., a surgeon may pierce an internal limiting membrane wherein only the membrane hooks penetrate the internal limiting membrane. The surgeon may then grasp and remove the membrane without damaging an underlying tissue, e.g., the surgeon may then grasp and remove the internal limiting membrane without damaging an underlying retina.
