Sklar Strabismus Scissors, Blunt Blunt
A 4-1/2 inch blunt tipped scissors used for careful tissue dissection during strabismus and other ophthalmic surgical procedures.
The Sklar Strabismus Scissors is a small, precise instrument built for the fine tissue work involved in eye muscle surgery. At four and a half inches with blunt tips on both blades, it lets the ophthalmic surgeon dissect conjunctival and muscle tissue close to the globe without the risk a sharp tipped instrument would carry in such a delicate anatomical area.
This listing includes both curved and straight configurations of the pattern, giving surgeons a choice depending on the specific step of the procedure and personal technique. Strabismus scissors of this design are used specifically in ophthalmology, primarily during strabismus correction surgery but also in other extraocular procedures requiring fine dissection near the eye.
Ophthalmic surgeons and their scrub teams in eye hospitals and day surgery centres rely on this pattern as a core part of the ophthalmic instrument set. As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it undergoes careful cleaning, inspection and steam sterilization given the precision of its tip and blade alignment.
