Utility Scissors

standard pattern, sharp tips, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm) Iris Scissors are a multipurpose tool used in ophthalmologic and general surgery procedures. The scissors may be used for manipulating and incising tissue in an iridectomy or iridotomy. The spring loaded design with widely spaced handle gives the surgeon optimal control during the procedure. The scissors come in straight or curved patterns depending on surgical preference.

fine delicate blades, sharp tips, straight, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm) Stich Scissors are a particularly useful tool in posteroperative management of ophthalmologic procedures. The straight sharp blade is designed to remove stitches from the conjunctiva or eyelids following an incision. Sharp tips also aid in the removal of stiches during the procedure.

blunt tips, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Troutman-Katzin Corneal Transplant Scissors are a useful tool during Keratoplasty operations. The miniature pattern of the blades allows for precise incisions of the corneal tissue. The scissors feature a locking mechanism to immobilize the inner blade, allowing the surgeon more control during the procedure. The blunt tips are designed to reduce trauma to extraneous tissue.

lower blade 0.5 mm longer than upper blade, 10.0 mm lower blade, 4-1/4" (11.0 cm) Castroviejo Corneal Section Scissors are a useful tool in performing a sclerocorneal section to gain access to the anterior chamber of the eye or lens during a cataract operation. The 0.5 mm difference in length between the lower and upper blades give the surgeon increased control while accommodating to the curvature and thickness of the cornea. Both right and left curvatures are available on the scissors to accommodate a variety of surgical preferences.
