Extra Thin Micro Iris Scissors – Curved

Description

Extra Thin Micro Iris Scissors, Curved

Our extra thin iris scissors are a micro pattern with slim, curved blades on an 11cm frame. The thin profile lets the tips slip into tight spaces. It also leaves more of the field in view.

Why thinner blades help

Standard iris scissors work well in open areas. However, thick blades can block your view in tight spots. Thinner blades take up less room. So you can see more tissue and place each cut with care.

The curve and the length

The blades curve gently, which helps you see the tips. The 11cm length sits well in most hands. Also, ring handles give a familiar, steady grip. So the pair feels like any iris scissors, only finer at the tips. Most users adapt within a case or two.

Best uses

Choose these when space is tight.

• Fine trimming close to the eye.
• Delicate cuts around the lids.
• Small, precise cuts in minor surgery.

A note on strength

Extra thin iris scissors trade some strength for access. For this reason, keep them for fine tissue only. Do not cut thick tissue, wire or heavy sutures with them. Then the blades will stay true for longer.

Cleaning steps

First, rinse the blades under running water. Next, brush the joint gently. After that, dry the pair and check the tips under good light. Finally, store it with a guard.

Getting your extra thin pair

Extra thin pairs ship non-sterile; process them and reuse them for many cases. Thin-blade buyers still get three years against manufacturing defects, as with all our scissors. Thin-blade steel meets ASTM F899. For a smaller pair, see the Bonn miniature scissors. Then browse the ophthalmology store or the help FAQs.
