FAQ
What distinguishes Iris Scissors from standard tissue scissors? Iris Scissors feature fine, narrow blades optimized for delicate tissue work, offering greater precision than heavier general-purpose scissors.
What does the Supercut micro serrated edge offer? The micro serrated edge grips tissue during cutting, minimizing slippage and providing cleaner, more controlled incisions compared to a smooth blade.
Is the Onyx Coating purely cosmetic? No — the Onyx Coating reduces light reflection under surgical illumination and adds an additional layer of surface protection to the instrument.
