Strabismus Scissors

The Strabismus Scissors is purpose built for working within one of the most sensitive and confined spaces in surgery. The rounded tips of the blades allow the surgeon to introduce the instrument beneath the conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule and gently separate these layers from the underlying sclera before any cutting takes place. This approach protects the globe and surrounding ocular structures from accidental trauma at every stage of the dissection.

Once the correct tissue plane has been established, the short cutting blades engage cleanly and efficiently. The blade geometry is designed to deliver an even and controlled cut through conjunctival tissue, muscle fascia and fine sutures without applying excessive force or disturbing the tissue adjacent to the incision site. This level of cutting control is essential during strabismus correction, where the extraocular muscles must be precisely divided, recessed or resected to bring the eyes into proper alignment.

The instrument is available in both straight and curved blade configurations. The straight version is suited to direct and clearly visible tissue planes near the surface of the eye. The curved version provides better access to deeper or angled tissue positions within the orbital field, where the natural contour of the blade follows the anatomy more closely and reduces the need for awkward hand positioning.

A black coated variant is also available for surgeons operating under magnification or microscope-assisted conditions. The non-reflective black surface eliminates glare from surgical lighting and improves visual clarity at the operative site. The instrument is also available in a titanium alloy version, which offers a lighter overall weight and a naturally matte finish while maintaining the structural integrity required for consistent performance in fine ophthalmic work.

The ring handles provide a secure and responsive grip that translates the surgeon’s hand movements accurately to the blade tip, which is especially important when working in a field as small and sensitive as the orbital space.

Manufactured from premium grade surgical stainless steel with a satin finish to reduce intraoperative glare. Fully autoclave compatible for repeated sterilization and reliable long term clinical use.
