what are medical scissors

Eye surgical scissors are a medical device that is used to cut tissue in the eye. They are used in ocular procedures such as cataract surgery, corneal transplantation and scleral buckling.

The shape of eye surgical scissors is like a pair of scissors, but they have a curved blade and one straight blade. The curved blade is for cutting tissues inside the eye, while the straight blade is for cutting tissues outside the eye. Eye surgical scissors are typically made out of stainless steel and have a sharp, curved blade. They are used by an ophthalmologist or other eye surgeon to cut and remove tissue from the eye.

Eyelid surgical scissors are usually used in this procedure, and they are specialized instruments with a curved blade and long handle. 



Different types of medical scissors


Surgical scissors are classified into three types: general purpose, hemostatic, and tissue.

General purpose surgical scissors are used for cutting through tissues and organs. Hemostatic surgical scissors are used for cutting through blood vessels. Tissue surgical scissors are used for cutting through tissues without damaging skin or other organs.
