Frequently asked questions
Does the extra-light weight affect overall durability?
Not at all. While the scissors undergo a specialized manufacturing process to shave off microns for a lighter feel, the structural integrity remains uncompromised. These are built to the same rigorous standards as standard Sklar instruments, ensuring they remain a durable tool for professional use.
Are these scissors suitable for delicate suture removal?
Yes, they are highly effective for fine suture removal. The sharp/sharp tip configuration is specifically designed for precision tasks, allowing for careful navigation and clean cuts in detailed surgical or dermatologic applications.
Can these be used in environments beyond ophthalmic surgery?
Absolutely. While they were originally developed for ophthalmic procedures, their exceptional precision has made them a staple in several other departments, including:
- Emergency Rooms
- OB/GYN
- Dermatology
They are ideal for any setting requiring fine tissue dissection.
Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes. The Sklarlite Iris Scissors are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for medical professionals and patients who require latex-free environments.
What is the primary benefit of the Sklarlite series?
The primary advantage is reduced surgeon fatigue. By decreasing the weight of the instrument, surgeons can maintain superior control during long, intricate procedures without the strain typically associated with heavier, standard-weight scissors.

Yes. This product is classified as a Sklar Premium grade instrument, manufactured from high-quality stainless steel to meet the exacting standards of medical professionals.
