?:definition
  • Eye (ophthalmic) surgery scissors designed to cut sutures and/or to remove stitches. These scissors are typically small handheld, manual instruments with two metallic (e.g., stainless steel) blades with straight or curved sharp tips that slide past each other (i.e., shearing action); a blade may include a notch to facilitate rapid pickup and cutting. The blades are attached to handles with the proximal end conformed as a ring to facilitate holding and operating with the fingers and are joined by a swivel pin in the center. The blades are typically attached to serrated flat handles to provide a safer grip with inserted flat springs that avoid uneven tension and provide a more uniform and/or sensitive manipulation. Eye surgery scissors with larger finger rings and flat shanks to facilitate operation (e.g., ribbon style) are also available.
