General Description
Castroviejo Curved Scissors are specialized microsurgical scissors featuring narrow, curved blades for enhanced access and visibility in delicate surgeries. The gentle curvature at the blade tips allows surgeons to make angled cuts without twisting the wrist, essential for procedures in ophthalmology, microvascular surgery, or periodontal microsurgery where working around structures is necessary. These scissors incorporate a spring-action handle that ensures smooth operation and precise control, with blades sharpened to the tip for clean, accurate cutting of fine tissues and sutures. Constructed from premium stainless steel with options for tungsten carbide edges or titanium coating, they have a high-quality finish that is non-reflective (reducing glare under operating lights) and fully resistant to rust and frequent sterilization.
Purpose
Intended for ultra-fine surgical work, the curved Castroviejo scissors enable surgeons to follow anatomical curves when cutting, such as trimming tissue around blood vessels or in eye surgery, with minimal tissue trauma. The curved tip design is particularly advantageous in confined surgical fields, allowing for precise cuts at angles that would be awkward with straight scissors. Surgeons frequently use these scissors for delicate dissection, cutting sutures during microsurgery, and periodontal flap surgeries, where their fine tips and curved blades give superior control. The ergonomic spring handles provide comfort and reduce finger fatigue, ensuring steady, controlled cutting motions during lengthy procedures.
