Tabb Sickle Knife 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for fine, controlled incisions in confined anterior segment anatomy, the sickle geometry is commonly used in ophthalmic procedures to create paracenteses, limbal or corneal entry wounds, conjunctival incisions and other delicate lamellar dissections. The pointed tip facilitates precise initial entry while the curved cutting edge enables a smooth slicing motion along curved tissue planes, helping reduce tissue drag and enhance control in microsurgical steps.

Design & Configuration

The curved (sickle) blade concentrates the cutting edge on the concave face, allowing a draw-cut technique that gives the surgeon tactile feedback and a predictable incision trajectory. The pointed tip provides accurate point penetration and controlled extension of the incision. The overall 15 cm length balances reach and ergonomic handling on the sterile field, enabling comfortable manipulation with standard surgical grips used in anterior-segment work.
