Sklar Edge TC Iris Scissors provide an exceptionally durable and hard cutting edge. These scissors are designed to stay sharp for a significantly longer period of time than standard scissors. Sklar permanently bonds tungsten carbide inserts to the blades of the scissors which maximizes control and precision. Originally designed for ophthalmic procedures, Iris Scissors have become a multipurpose instrument used in various surgical environments. These fine, sharp scissors are ideal for detailed dissection of fine tissue and fine suture removal. In addition to ophthalmic procedures, Iris Scissors are now often used in emergency rooms and for OB/GYN and dermatologic procedures. Sklar Edge scissors can be identified by two gold coated finger rings. This product is straight with smooth, sharp/sharp tips and a length of 4-1/2 inches.
