Vannas Secondary Cataract Scissors

Description

Vannas Secondary Cataract Scissors

Vannas secondary cataract scissors are small spring scissors for thin membranes inside the eye. Many cataract surgeons know the pattern well. We offer it in standard, angled and angled-on-flat forms.

A light touch inside the eye

The handles sit apart on a soft spring. So you only need a small squeeze to close the blades. Then the spring opens them again with no effort. This gentle action helps when you work near the lens implant or the iris.

Where these blades help most

Surgeons often use them to cut a thin membrane behind the implant. They may also trim capsule or fine strands of tissue. In addition, some keep them on hand for small cuts at the wound. Still, keep thick tissue for larger scissors.

Picking a blade form

Each form changes the angle at which the blades reach the tissue.

• Standard suits a direct, head-on cut.
• Angled helps you come in from the side.
• Angled on flat turns the blades across their flat face for sideways cuts.

Holding the Vannas pair

Hold the scissors like a pen, with the handle resting on your middle finger. Then use your thumb and index finger to squeeze. Because the blades are short, small hand moves give precise cuts. Also, rest your wrist when you can.

Tray tips and storage

These blades are fine, so give them their own slot. Never pile other tools on top. After cleaning, dry the joint fully to stop stains. Then fit a tip guard before packing.

How we supply membrane scissors

Membrane scissors from us come unsterile; clean and sterilize them, and they return to service again and again. Secondary cataract pairs carry three years against manufacturing defects as standard. Membrane scissor steel follows ASTM F899. For a modified version, see the Tubingen variant. Then look through our cataract and eye instruments or the questions page.

Secondary cataract scissors are for professional use. Our sterilization page and delivery details cover the rest.
