Shepard-Westcott Tenotomy Scissors

blunt tips, serrated upper blade, 20.0 mm from screw to tip, curved, 4-7/8″ (12.4 cm) Shepard-Westcott Tenotomy Scissors are a commonly used tool in ophthalmologic surgeries. The scissors are designed to cut the insertion of the extra-ocular orbital muscles. This is accomplished by placing one blade of the scissors behind the tendon. The scissors feature blunt tips to reduce damage to the surrounding orbital tissue. Additionally, the serrated blades help grasp tissue to minimize slippage.
