Intraocular scissors (conventional-hinge, reusable) are surgical tools designed for precise cutting of tissue in the eye’s anterior segment, such as the iris. Their hinged blades create a shearing motion close to the handle, allowing surgeons to perform delicate procedures like cataract surgery or corneal repairs with controlled precision.
These reusable devices are typically metallic and require sterilization before each use. They’re classified based on their design and intended surgical application, with variations in blade shape and size to suit different procedures. Always check local regulations for specific requirements on reprocessing and classification.
