NOYES 12 cm pointed-tip scissors – For high-precision ophthalmic microsurgery
Frimed's 12 cm NOYES scissors are a benchmark in the field of ophthalmic microsurgery. They stand out not only for the precision of their blades but also for their ergonomics, which are adapted to the fine and meticulous movements required during intraocular procedures, particularly iridectomies.
This model, recognisable by its straight, tapered shape, is designed to provide excellent visibility of the surgical field while allowing clean cutting of ocular tissue. Unlike other similar instruments bearing the NOYES name, this specific version features short, straight arms extended by extremely sharp blades. This unique design allows the user to work in anatomically challenging areas with optimal control.
With no finger rings, NOYES scissors have a spring-loaded design with a serrated handle, characteristic of pressure-grip instruments. This design allows for unrestricted handling, facilitating the subtle adjustments required in ophthalmic surgery. The blades return smoothly to their original position after pressure is released, providing the surgeon with cutting comfort while reducing hand fatigue during long procedures.
Made from surgical stainless steel, the instrument guarantees high corrosion resistance and repeated sterilisation without altering its shape or sharpness.
The total length of 12 cm makes these scissors a standard tool suitable for a wide variety of hands, whether for experienced practitioners or young surgeons in training. Their balance in the hand, combined with their fine, straight geometry, makes them particularly suitable for linear cutting techniques or targeted tissue removal.
This model is frequently used during iridectomies, a procedure that involves removing a small portion of the iris to restore the flow of aqueous humour in cases of glaucoma or pupillary blockage. Thanks to their thin, rigid blades, NOYES scissors allow for a clean incision, minimising the risk of collateral trauma to adjacent structures.
Frimed's 12 cm NOYES scissors are a trusted choice for ophthalmologists who demand a combination of finesse, efficiency and manoeuvrability in their surgical instruments.
