Iris Scissors, Curved and Serrated for Slip-Free Cutting

These curved serrated iris scissors add fine serrations to one blade. The teeth grip tissue as the blades close, so it does not slide away. The pair measures 11.5cm and has a gentle curve.

Why serrations help

Smooth blades can push soft tissue ahead of the cut. Then the cut lands short or uneven. Serrations, however, catch the tissue and hold it still. As a result, slippery tissue, such as fine membranes or soft fat, cuts more cleanly.

The value of a curve

A curve lets you see the tips as you cut. It also follows round shapes, such as the globe or the lid edge. So curved pairs are popular for surface work. Meanwhile, the 11.5cm length gives a comfortable grip for most hands.

Good fits for this pair

Use this pair when tissue tends to move.

• Soft tissue that slides on smooth blades.
• Fine trimming near the lid or orbit.
• General delicate cutting in minor surgery.

How to hold ring-handled scissors

Your thumb and fourth finger go through the loops. Meanwhile, the index finger steadies the pivot. This tripod grip steadies the tips. Also, use the middle of the blades for most cuts.

Cleaning serrated blades

Serrations can trap tissue, so brush along them after use. Next, rinse and dry the joint. Finally, check the teeth under good light. If they look worn, the pair will start to slip.
