Iris Scissors angular 11.5cm TC

Clinical Application

Designed for precise cutting and dissection of fine tissues and sutures in procedures that demand delicate control. Common applications include ophthalmology (anterior segment work and fine conjunctival or periocular tissue handling), microsurgery, ENT, and plastic/reconstructive cases where controlled, atraumatic trimming of delicate soft tissue or removal of sutures is required. The angular tip aids access to angled or recessed anatomy without excessive tissue retraction.

Design & Configuration

The angular geometry places the cutting blades on an offset plane relative to the instrument handles, improving line-of-sight and approach angle in confined operative fields. A length of 11.5 cm provides a balance between working reach and tactile control, enabling the surgeon to operate at a slight distance from the wound while maintaining fine hand movements. The fine, pointed blades facilitate precise tip placement for controlled starts and stops during cutting, reducing collateral trauma to adjacent tissue.
