General Description
The Castroviejo Straight Scissors are microsurgical scissors known for their spring-action handle and straight slender blades. They are engineered for precise cutting in delicate surgical procedures such as ophthalmology, microsurgery, and periodontal surgery. The fine, sharp blades (honed to the tip) allow for extremely smooth cutting of both fine and moderately coarse tissue with reduced trauma to surrounding areas. Made of high-grade German stainless steel with options for tungsten carbide inserts or a hardened titanium coating, these scissors maintain their sharpness over time and resist corrosion from sterilization.
Purpose
Designed for meticulous surgical tasks, the straight Castroviejo scissors excel at cutting sutures and trimming delicate tissues in areas where precision is paramount. The straight blade configuration provides improved control and direct approach for surgeons when cutting along a flat plane or surface. Commonly used in ophthalmic surgeries (e.g. corneal or eyelid procedures), vascular surgeries, and microsurgical dental procedures, they enable surgeons to make clean cuts in tight spaces. The spring-loaded handle design offers smooth, fatigue-free operation with a reliable reopening mechanism, making one-handed use easy and ensuring fine control even during lengthy procedures.
