Castroviejo Micro Scissors

Castroviejo Micro Scissors are specialized microsurgical instruments commonly used by ophthalmic surgeons, corneal specialists, plastic surgeons, and microsurgical practitioners during procedures requiring meticulous cutting of delicate tissues. Named after pioneering ophthalmologist Ramón Castroviejo , these scissors are specifically designed for precision cutting in confined operative fields where superior control and tactile feedback are essential. The instrument features ultra-fine, sharp blades engineered to deliver smooth and accurate cutting performance for delicate tissues, membranes, and fine sutures. Depending on the surgical application and surgeon preference, Castroviejo Micro Scissors are available in straight, curved, angled, and multiple blade length configurations. The lightweight spring-handle design allows controlled opening and closing with minimal hand movement, enhancing precision and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures performed under an operating microscope. The compact profile supports excellent maneuverability and unobstructed visualization within narrow surgical corridors, making these scissors ideal for microsurgical environments. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium, Castroviejo Micro Scissors offer exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable long-term performance. The satin low-glare finish minimizes reflections under microscope illumination and surgical lighting while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance. Widely used in hospitals, ophthalmic surgery centers, and teaching institutions, these scissors are essential components of ophthalmic and microsurgical instrument sets. Fully reusable and autoclavable, Castroviejo Micro Scissors are designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining blade alignment, sharpness, and consistent cutting performance.
