Iridectomy Scissors: Precision Instruments for Ophthalmic Procedures

Iridectomy scissors are highly specialized surgical instruments used in ophthalmology, particularly for treating adhesions (synechiae) between the iris and the cornea or lens. These adhesions can result from inflammation, trauma, or postoperative complications and can lead to impaired vision or increased intraocular pressure.

Iridectomy scissors are characterized by their fine and lightweight construction, which enables precise and controlled execution of the surgery. Their narrow, often curved blades are specifically designed to treat delicate structures of the eye, such as the iris or aqueous humor-carrying tissue, with care. Through precise cutting ability, surgeons can sever adhesions with millimeter accuracy without damaging surrounding tissue.

A further advantage of these instruments lies in their ergonomic handling. The finely balanced handles and high-quality construction from stainless surgical steel or titanium ensure optimal control during the procedure. This is particularly important as ophthalmic surgeries require a high degree of sensitivity and precision.

Iridectomy scissors are not only used for treating synechiae but are also employed in other surgical procedures such as iridectomy (removal of a piece of the iris to relieve pressure in glaucoma) or the correction of iris defects. Their versatile applicability and precise functionality make them an indispensable tool in modern ophthalmology.
