Surgical Scissors 10.0 cm (4")

Controlled Access for Corneal and Fine-Tissue Scissor Work

Troutman-Katzin corneal transplant scissors are designed for precise cutting tasks where a compact profile, strongly curved right blades, and blunt tips support controlled instrument handling. At 4 1/8 inches, this small scissors pattern offers a close-working format for ophthalmic procedures while remaining relevant to fine dissection and tissue-cutting workflows in general surgery and plastic surgery. The flat three-hole handle provides multiple finger positions for deliberate manipulation, and the integrated lock can help maintain the selected handle position during appropriate use. Its focused design supports access, visibility, and measured control without adding unnecessary instrument length.

Use Cases

• Corneal transplant and other ophthalmic cutting tasks requiring a small scissors pattern with strongly curved right blades.
• General surgery workflows involving controlled cutting in confined or closely visualized operative areas.
• Plastic surgery procedures requiring fine scissor handling and access around contoured tissue planes.
• Tasks where blunt tips are preferred to support careful instrument placement and handling.
• Procedures benefiting from a flat three-hole handle and lock for deliberate finger positioning and instrument control.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the scissors according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the blades, blunt tips, finger holes, and lock before and after use for damage, alignment, or impeded movement.
• Handle the strongly curved blades carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to protect the cutting edges and surrounding instruments.
• Store the scissors in a manner that prevents blade contact, impact, or distortion.
