Iris scissors are a type of surgical scissors that are commonly used in ophthalmic procedures, which involve the eyes. They are named after the iris, which is the colored part of the eye that surrounds the pupil. Iris scissors have small, delicate blades that are typically about 80mm to 110mm long and have a sharp, pointed tip. They are designed to make precise cuts in small and delicate tissues, such as the iris or other parts of the eye.
Iris scissors are also used in other types of surgeries where precision cutting is required, such as plastic surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiovascular surgery. They are typically made of high-quality stainless steel, which allows them to be sterilized and reused multiple times without losing their sharpness. Some types of iris scissors may have straight blades, while others have curved or angled blades that make it easier to access hard-to-reach areas.
