IOL Cutting Scissors FT7-1410 is a surgical instrument used in ophthalmic microsurgery for cataract procedures.
During a cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens known as an intraocular lens (IOL). The IOL Cutting Scissors FT7-1410 is specifically designed to cut and trim the IOL to the desired size and shape before implantation.
The 18 gauge size of the scissors refers to the diameter of the instrument. This size is commonly used in ophthalmic microsurgery, as it allows for precise and delicate tissue cutting. The scissors are designed with sharp blades that can make precise cuts without damaging the delicate IOL material.
The titanium construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal material for surgical instruments.
