Castroviejo Corneal Section Scissors are surgical instruments commonly used in ophthalmology for delicate procedures involving the cornea. They are named after Ramón Castroviejo, a renowned Spanish ophthalmologist. These scissors are specifically designed for making precise incisions in the cornea during procedures such as corneal grafting or transplantation.
The two sizes you mentioned, FS7-1175 and FS7-1180, refer to different variations of Castroviejo Corneal Section Scissors. The FS7-1175 is described as a medium-sized right Castroviejo Corneal Section Scissors with an overall length of 109mm. This particular instrument is designed for right-handed surgeons.
On the other hand, the FS7-1180 is a left Castroviejo Corneal Section Scissors with an overall length of 110mm. This variant is intended for left-handed surgeons.
Both instruments are used for making precise and controlled cuts in the cornea during surgical procedures. The choice of the right or left variant depends on the surgeon’s handedness and their preference for the instrument’s design.
