Corneal Section Scissors

Description

Corneal Section Scissors

These corneal section scissors come in 10 cm or 12 cm, with curved or straight blades. They let you extend an incision at the cornea or limbus. With four combinations, you can match the tool to your approach.

Choosing a Corneal Scissor Length

The 10 cm size feels nimble and suits close work under the microscope. On the other hand, the 12 cm size gives more room for the hand. Pick the one that matches your other anterior instruments.

Choosing a Corneal Blade Shape

Curved blades follow the round limbus, so the cut tracks the wound edge. Straight blades, however, suit direct, linear extensions. Many surgeons keep curved for the limbus and straight for corneal flaps.

• 10 cm or 12 cm length
• Curved blades for the limbal arc
• Straight blades for linear cuts
• Four size and shape options

Where Section Scissors Fit

In general, these scissors extend an opening made by a blade or keratome. They suit extracapsular cataract work and some corneal procedures. So they belong in a classic anterior segment set.

Section Cut Technique Notes

Insert the lower blade into the wound first. Then close the scissors in short steps, so the cut stays even. Also keep the blades level with the wound plane.

Corneal Edge Care

Wash the pair promptly, while debris is still soft. Next, brush the joint and rinse well. Finally, check the blades under a loupe for nicks or gaps.

Each corneal pair arrives non-sterile; it is reusable after proper cleaning and sterilization. They use stainless steel aligned with ASTM F899, and our team checks them in the United States. Whichever size you pick, it holds three years against manufacturing defects. For a single long pattern, see the 15 cm Noyes pattern.
