Scissors

miniature pattern, 10.0 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.

very delicate 6.0mm blades, 3-3/8" (8.6 cm) Vannas Capsulotomy Scissors are a widely used tool, particularly in posterior capsulotomies following cataract procedures. The delicate blades of the scissors are designed to trim or excise the posterior capsule due to increasing opacity or degeneration. The smaller length of the scissors allows for increased maneuverability while minimizing surgical obstruction. Straight, curved, and angled blades are available depending on surgical necessity.

sharp tips, curved 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 extended length model is useful for accessing difficult areas while causing minimal surgical obstruction. A wide handle model is available on the scissors depending on surgical preference.

wide handle, curved blunt tips, 5-1/2" (14.0 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 wide, spring loaded handle of the scissors is designed to reduce physician fatigue while providing increased control. The scissors are available in either a right or left handed model depending on physician preference.
