Iris Scissors, 11.5 cm (Straight or Curved | Standard, SC, or TC Options)

Overview

The Iris Scissors, 11.5 cm are designed to support precise tissue dissection and controlled cutting in delicate surgical environments. Originally developed for ophthalmic procedures, the Iris pattern is now widely utilized across multiple surgical specialties where fine tissue handling, detailed dissection, and precision are required.

Available in straight and curved profiles, as well as standard, surgical cut (SC), and tungsten carbide (TC) blade configurations, these scissors allow clinicians to select the instrument best suited to their procedural requirements and personal preference.

Manufactured from German surgical stainless steel, these scissors are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization.

Instrument Insight

• The Iris pattern is one of the most widely recognized scissor designs used in delicate surgical procedures requiring precise tissue handling.

• Straight configurations are often selected for direct access and linear cutting, while curved configurations may facilitate dissection along anatomical planes.

• The compact blade design is commonly associated with improved precision and maneuverability in confined operative areas.

• Multiple blade configurations allow clinicians to select an instrument based on procedural requirements and personal preference.

Why Material Matters

• German surgical stainless steel is widely used for its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.

• Suitable for repeated sterilization when properly maintained.

• Commonly used in reusable surgical instruments intended for long-term clinical use.

• Tungsten carbide inserts provide an alternative blade configuration that may be selected based on user preference and instrument requirements.
