O’Brien Eye Scissors

Description

O’Brien Eye Scissors

O’Brien eye scissors are a short named pattern at 10 cm. They come in one version. Many buyers order them to replace a worn pair in an existing set, so we focus on practical points here.

A Name Worth Knowing

The O’Brien name appears on several eye instruments. As a result, it helps to match the pattern against your current pair. If in doubt, contact us before you order.

Handy O’Brien Size

At 10 cm, the scissors fit neatly into minor procedure trays. Also they balance well in a small hand. That said, larger hands may prefer a longer pair for comfort. In addition, the short blades give a precise cut at the very tip, which helps when you remove fine sutures.

Light Jobs They Suit

In general, short eye scissors handle a set of light tasks.

• Snipping fine sutures
• Trimming conjunctiva
• Small lid skin cuts
• Freeing tissue tags

Avoiding O’Brien Blade Damage

Fine blades dull quickly on the wrong material. Therefore, never cut gauze, tape or wire with them. Instead, keep a utility pair on the tray for those jobs. That habit keeps the edge sharp for far longer.

Routine Reprocessing

Rinse the pair while blood is still wet. Then brush around the hinge and dry well. Finally, open and close the blades a few times to spread a light film of oil. If the blades feel gritty, send the pair for service before the next list.

O’Brien scissors leave us non-sterile; each cleaning and sterilization cycle readies them for theatre again. The stainless steel used follows ASTM F899, and every pair receives our checks in the United States. Every O’Brien pair has three years against manufacturing defects attached.
