Noyes Iris Scissors

Description

Noyes Iris Scissors

Noyes iris scissors are a fine spring pattern with a 12 cm length. You can pick curved or straight blades. Then choose sharp/blunt or sharp/sharp tips.

Noyes Curved Versus Straight

Curved blades help you see the tips as you cut around a curve. Straight blades, on the other hand, give a direct line from hand to tip. So your choice depends on whether you cut along an arc or a line.

Tip Pairs Explained

Sharp/sharp tips start a cut easily in firm tissue. However, sharp/blunt tips give one guarded blade. That blunt blade slides under tissue without catching what lies below.

• 12 cm overall length
• Curved or straight blades
• Sharp/blunt tips for guarded cuts
• Sharp/sharp tips for crisp starts

Typical Noyes Iris Uses

In general, Noyes iris scissors appear in iridectomy, membrane cutting and small wound extensions. They also suit fine conjunctival trimming.

A Longer Spring Pattern

At 12 cm, these scissors sit at the longer end for iris patterns. As a result, they suit surgeons with larger hands or those who brace further from the eye. Also the extra length helps when a speculum crowds the field.

Simple Noyes Care

After use, rinse the blades and open the spring fully. Next, brush the joint and dry the scissors. Finally, check the tips and store them in a rack, apart from heavier tools.

Noyes scissors ship non-sterile, and after full cleaning and sterilization they are ready for the next list. The stainless steel used meets ASTM F899, and we check every pair in the United States. Blade and spring both enjoy three years against manufacturing defects. For shorter spring scissors with more tip choices, see the eye spring scissors.
