Troutman-Castroviejo Corneal Scissors, FS7-1195 (right) and FS7-1200 (left), are surgical instruments specifically designed for ophthalmic procedures. These scissors are used in corneal surgery, particularly in delicate tasks involving the cornea, such as corneal transplantation or other procedures requiring precise and controlled cutting.
The Troutman-Castroviejo Corneal Scissors feature a medium blade size, which makes them suitable for various corneal surgical techniques. The medium blade length on the FS7-1195 (right) is 108mm, while the FS7-1200 (left) has a slightly longer blade at 109mm. The difference in blade length between the right and left scissors is intended to accommodate the surgeon’s preference or handedness during the procedure.
These corneal scissors are typically used by ophthalmic surgeons to make precise incisions in the cornea, which is the transparent front part of the eye. The delicate nature of corneal surgery requires instruments that provide fine control and minimize tissue trauma. The Troutman-Castroviejo Corneal Scissors are designed to meet these requirements, allowing surgeons to perform intricate and accurate maneuvers during ophthalmic procedures.
