These fine, sharp scissors are ideal for detailed dissection of fine tissue and fine suture removal. In addition to ophthalmic procedures, Iris Scissors are now often used in emergency rooms and for OB/GYN and dermatologic procedures. Sklar Edge scissors can be identified by two gold coated finger rings. This product is straight with smooth, sharp/sharp tips and a length of 4-1/2 inches.
