Aebli Corneal Scissors

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.

medium blades, very sharp tips, curved, 4-1/8" (10.5 cm) Jaffe 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. Finger slots are included in the scissors to adjust the grip as necessary during the procedure.

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.
