Sklar Enucleation Scissors, 5 Inch Medium Curve
A five inch, medium curved scissors used to divide the extraocular muscles and optic nerve during enucleation and related ophthalmic surgery.
The Sklar Enucleation Scissors is a specialised ophthalmic instrument used during enucleation surgery, the surgical removal of an eye, where the extraocular muscles and the optic nerve must be divided cleanly and with control. Its medium curved blade is shaped to reach around the globe and access the nerve and muscle attachments at the back of the eye socket, an area that is difficult to approach with a straight instrument.
At five inches, it is sized appropriately for the confined anatomy of the orbit. This listing covers four variants of the pattern, giving an ophthalmic surgical team a choice within the same product line to suit established preferences. It is used by ophthalmic surgeons and their assistants specifically during enucleation and evisceration procedures, a narrow but important application within eye surgery.
As a stainless steel instrument, it is designed for the fine cleaning and sterilisation appropriate to ophthalmic instruments and for continued reuse across procedures in a hospital or specialty eye clinic.
