Sklar Iris Micro-Miniature Scissors, Extra Delicate 4 Inch
A 4 inch extra delicate scissors with sharp tips, offered in straight or curved profiles, used for fine cutting in ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures.
The Sklar Iris Micro-Miniature Scissors is a fine surgical scissors measuring 4 inches overall, built to an extra delicate profile with sharp on sharp tips for precise, low trauma cutting. The listing covers both a curved and a straight version, giving the surgical team a choice of blade shape depending on the angle of approach and the tissue plane being worked in.
Instruments of this size and delicacy are associated with ophthalmic surgery, where cutting must be exact and confined to a very small operative field, though the fine pattern also suits other microsurgical applications requiring similarly light, controlled cutting. Ophthalmic surgeons and microsurgeons use scissors of this type for tasks such as trimming iris tissue or fine suture material.
Because the blades are thin and delicate, the instrument demands careful handling to avoid bending or misalignment. As a reusable surgical instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between cases following standard microsurgical instrument reprocessing protocols, ideally stored in a protective tray to keep the tips from contacting other instruments.
