Utility Scissors

miniature pattern, uneven blunt blades, upper blade shorter than lower blade, 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 uneven blades are designed to accommodate the curvature and thickness of the cornea, producing a minimally altered graft. In addition, the scissors are available curved right or left depending on surgical preference.

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.

micro pattern, 6.0 mm equal length blades, w/ lock, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm)Troutman-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 extended 10mm blades allow for quick and precise cuts through corneal tissue while reducing operating time. The locking mechanism allows the inner blade to remain stationary depending on physician preference. Both right and left curvature are available on the scissors to accommodate a variety of surgical needs.

curved, sharp tips, 3-1/3" (8.5 cm) McPherson-Vannas Micro 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, while the micro pattern affords the surgeon maximal precision. In addition, the curved sharp tip aids in dissection while accommodating to the patient's natural curvature.
