Iris Scissors
Iris scissors are designed for eye surgery and not for skin surgery and
hence the name. Iris scissors are used for remove necrotic tissue. These are
very sharp, pointed scissors, available with either curved or angular
cutting blades. Straight scissors are for flat surfaces. They are fine,
curved scissors that follow the contours of tissue in a small area. They are
rather handy multipurpose scissors for cutting dressings, gauze, tape, and
curved ones are especially good for cutting duoderm and ostomy wafers. They
are considered to be good starting scissors for beginners in dissection.
Besides being used as operating scissors, iris scissors are very useful for
fine cutting in embroidery as well.

considered to be economical scissors. The expensive ones are made with fine
quality stainless steel. They are usually sand finish or mirror polished.
