Surgeons use tenotomy eye scissors in ophthalmic surgeries for the dissection of delicate tissues and to aid in iris reconstruction. Tenotomy medical scissors can be straight or curved and have either sharp or blunt tips. They have long handle which provide a firm grip and higher control during the surgery. Because of their specific structure, they are perfect for use in narrow spaces. Also, the sharp tips of the instrument help with delicate dissection while the blunt tip assists in blunt cutting procedures. The combination of both tips helps carry out atraumatic procedures and they are available in small and large sizes to meet the surgical requirements.

Preferably, surgeons use these scissors instruments for smaller and more accurate cuts as they are involved in delicate surgeries and they can also be used for diagnostic procedures.
