Eye Spring Scissors

Description

Eye Spring Scissors

These eye spring scissors are small, light and quick to handle. They come in 9.5 cm and 10 cm. Blades come curved or straight, with blunt/blunt or sharp/sharp tips.

Eight Ways to Set Them Up

Two lengths, two shapes and two tip types give eight versions. That sounds like a lot. However, most buyers start with a curved, sharp/sharp pair and add a blunt pair later.

Blunt Tips or Sharp Tips

Blunt/blunt tips are safer close to delicate tissue, because they spread rather than pierce. Sharp/sharp tips, meanwhile, open conjunctiva or a membrane with a clean first bite.

Curved or Straight Spring Blades

Curved blades follow the eye and keep the tips in view. Straight blades suit simple linear snips.

Where Small Spring Scissors Help

In general, small spring scissors cut conjunctiva, trim tissue tags and snip fine sutures under magnification. They also suit quick minor procedures in clinic. Because they are short, they work well close to the eye. For example, many clinics keep a pair on the minor procedures tray. Then staff can reach for it without opening a full set.

Keeping Them Sharp

Never use fine spring scissors on thick suture or dressings. Instead, keep a sturdier pair for that. After each case, rinse, brush, dry and check the tips.

Each version ships non-sterile, ready to reuse after each cleaning and sterilization. We use stainless steel to ASTM F899 and inspect them in the United States. All eight versions carry three years against manufacturing defects. For a longer spring pattern, see the 12 cm Noyes iris scissors. Browse our complete ophthalmic line or the FAQ page.
