Corneal scissors are reusable surgical tools designed specifically for ophthalmic procedures, primarily used to precisely cut corneal tissue during surgeries like cataract removal or corneal transplants. Their shearing blade design allows for controlled incisions, and some models can also be used for cutting sutures or drapes, enhancing their versatility in the operating room.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with standards for reusable medical devices to ensure sterility, durability, and safety. They are commonly supplied as standalone tools or as part of surgical instrument sets, with variations in blade size and handle design to accommodate different surgical techniques.
