The Vannas Capsulotomy Scissors FS7-1385, with an overall length of 82mm and angled forward, is a specialized surgical instrument used in ophthalmic procedures. Specifically, it is designed for performing capsulotomy, which is the process of creating an opening in the lens capsule during cataract surgery.
During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens inside the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens implant. To access the lens, the surgeon creates a circular opening in the front portion of the lens capsule, called the anterior capsule. This opening allows the surgeon to remove the cataractous lens and insert the new lens implant.
The Vannas Capsulotomy Scissors are used to precisely cut the anterior capsule in a controlled manner. The scissors have a fine, sharp tip and are angled forward to facilitate easy access and maneuverability within the eye. The angled design helps the surgeon achieve better visibility and precise cutting in the limited space of the eye.
