Castroviejo Scissors

curved, blunt tips, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm) Westcott Tenotomy Scissors are a commonly used tool in ophthalmologic procedures. The scissors are designed to cut the tendonous insertion of the extra-ocular muscles or for the incision of Tenon's capsule. The scissors are available in either a right or left handed model depending on physician preference. Blunt tips are designed to reduce extraneous tissue damage to the globe.

small curved blades, sharp tips, 4" (10.0 cm) McPherson-Westcott Stich Scissors are a particularly useful tool in posteroperative management of ophthalmologic procedures. The curved sharp blade is designed to remove stitches from the conjunctiva or eyelids following an incision. The micro pattern of the blades is intended for cuts requiring the utmost precision. The scissors are available solely in a right-handed model.

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.

tungsten carbide, angled on flat, 4-1/4" (10.8 cm) Wilmer Conjunctival Scissors are an excellent tool in ophthalmologic surgeries. The angled design is ideal for elevating the conjunctival flap and separating it from the underlying sclera to gain further access. The tungsten carbide inlays are bonded to scissor blades, providing increased durability, sharper cutting edges and enhanced service-life. In addition, these scissors feature gold-plated handles. P
