Iris scissors are small, fine scissors for delicate cutting. The standard pattern has sharp points; the blunt version is safer close to delicate tissue.

Design features

• Fine blades
• Sharp or blunt tips
• Straight, curved or angled (blunt version)
• Lengths 9, 10.5 and 11.5 cm

Typical applications

• Ophthalmic and plastic surgery
• Fine dissection and suture removal

Care

Use scissors only on the tissue or material they are designed for; cutting sutures, wire or dressings with dissecting scissors dulls the edges. Process with the blades open and check the joint for smooth action.
