Stevens Tenotomy Scissor 110mm - Sharp- Curved (Freelance UK)
Description
Stevens tenotomy scissors are a type of surgical scissors that are commonly used in ophthalmic (eye) surgery to perform tenotomy procedures. Tenotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the cutting or releasing of a tendon to relieve tension or correct a deformity.
Stevens tenotomy scissors are named after the American ophthalmologist Charles F. W. Stevens, who developed them in the early 20th century. They are characterized by their curved blades and pointed tips, which are designed to allow for precise cutting of delicate tissue, such as the tendons in the eye.
Stevens tenotomy scissors are commonly used in procedures such as strabismus surgery (to correct misaligned eyes), ptosis surgery (to correct drooping eyelids), and other surgeries that involve the muscles and tendons surrounding the eye.
