Definition

Iris scissors are small, fine-tipped surgical scissors originally developed for ophthalmic surgery, now widely used across dental, veterinary, and general surgical settings for precise dissection, suture removal, and delicate tissue work. Available in curved and straight blade designs, they are a standard stock item for clinics, distributors, and trade buyers across the UK.


In Stock: Curved and Straight, Ready to Ship

We carry iris scissors in both curved (CVD) and straight (STR) blade designs, 11cm, precision-ground stainless steel construction, and therefore fully autoclavable for repeated clinical use.

VariantBest suited for
Curved bladeFollowing natural tissue contours, therefore ideal for fine dissection in confined areas
Straight bladeDirect-line cuts, suture removal, general precision work

We stock both variants and ship them immediately, no lead time on standard orders.

Where Iris Scissors Are Actually Used

Although ophthalmic procedures inspired the original design, iris scissors have since become a genuinely cross-market instrument:

  • Ophthalmic and eye clinics, precise cutting of delicate ocular tissue
  • Veterinary practices, fine dissection and suture removal
  • Dental and oral surgery, detailed soft tissue work
  • General surgical settings, suture removal, fine dissection tasks

This cross-market demand makes iris scissors a reliable, repeat-purchase item for a wide range of clinical buyers, not a niche specialty tool.
