Sklar Merit Castroviejo Scissors, Curved, 4-1/4
A Sklar Merit Castroviejo scissors, 4-1/4 inches, curved, used to make fine, controlled cuts of delicate tissue during ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures.
The Castroviejo scissors is a small, precision instrument built for the fine cutting tasks common in ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures, where standard sized surgical scissors would be too large or blunt for the tissue involved. This Sklar Merit version measures 4-1/4 inches and has a curved blade, a shape that lets the surgeon follow a gentle arc when cutting tissue such as the conjunctiva or fine sutures without needing to reposition the instrument mid cut.
It is used by ophthalmic surgeons and other microsurgical specialists during procedures that require close, controlled cutting within a limited field of view under the operating microscope. The spring style handle common to Castroviejo pattern instruments gives fine, light control that matches the precision needed for this kind of work.
It should be cleaned and sterilised between uses following standard ophthalmic instrument reprocessing protocols, with the fine blades checked for sharpness and alignment.
