Sklar Chadwick Enucleation Scissor, Curved
A 4-1/4 inch curved scissors with sharp-sharp blades, used by ophthalmic surgeons to cut tissue during enucleation and other eye removal procedures.
The Sklar Chadwick Enucleation Scissor is a 4-1/4 inch curved scissors with sharp-sharp blades measuring 110mm, designed for the specific cutting demands of enucleation surgery, in which the eye is surgically removed. The curved blade shape allows the surgeon to follow the natural curvature of the orbit and globe while cutting through extraocular muscles and connective tissue, and the sharp-sharp blade pattern gives a clean, precise cut through these relatively tough structures.
Enucleation is performed for a range of indications including severe trauma, intraocular tumors and blind, painful eyes, and having purpose built scissors reduces the risk of unintended tissue damage during a procedure that calls for careful, deliberate cutting close to important surrounding structures such as the optic nerve.
Ophthalmic surgeons performing enucleation, and the surgical teams supporting them, use this instrument as a specialized addition to a standard ophthalmic surgical tray. Given its fine cutting edges, the scissors is handled and inspected under magnification and reprocessed with the gentle cleaning and sterilization methods appropriate to precision ophthalmic instruments.
