Sklar Castroviejo Corneal Scissors, Miniature
A miniature, curved corneal scissors with an offset inner blade, used for precise cutting of corneal tissue during ophthalmic microsurgery, offered in left and right hand versions.
The Sklar Castroviejo Corneal Scissors is a 4-1/4 inch miniature scissors designed for the fine, controlled cutting required in ophthalmic microsurgery of the cornea. 5mm longer than the outer blade, a subtle design detail that helps the surgeon feel and control the cutting action against delicate corneal tissue without over- or under-cutting.
This listing covers five variants including angled and curved blade options with blunt or sharp points, and left and right handed curved miniature versions, giving ophthalmic surgeons the specific configuration that matches their preferred cutting direction and technique. Castroviejo-pattern scissors are a long standing standard in ophthalmic surgery, valued for their small, precise blades and comfortable spring handle that allows one-handed, controlled cutting during procedures such as corneal transplant or refractive surgery.
Ophthalmologists and ophthalmic surgical teams use instruments of this kind routinely, and as with other fine ophthalmic instruments, careful handling, inspection under magnification and gentle sterilization are essential to preserving the sharp, precise cutting edge over repeated use.
