Additional Information for Conjunctival Scissors
Conjunctival scissors are a type of surgical instrument used in ophthalmic procedures. They are specifically designed for cutting and dissecting the conjunctiva, which is the thin, transparent membrane that covers the front surface of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids.
These scissors have a delicate and curved design, with sharp, fine tips that allow for precise and controlled cutting. They are typically made of stainless steel, which ensures durability and resistance to corrosion.
Conjunctival scissors are commonly used in procedures such as conjunctivoplasty, where the conjunctiva is reshaped or repaired, and conjunctival biopsy, where a small tissue sample is taken for examination. They are also used in other ophthalmic surgeries that involve the manipulation or removal of the conjunctiva.
It's important to note that conjunctival scissors should only be used by trained medical professionals who are familiar with ophthalmic procedures and have the necessary skills to handle and use these instruments safely.
