Iris Scissors TC (3.5cm)

The Iris Scissors TC (3.5cm) carries a 3.5 cm straight blade length on an overall 11.5 cm instrument body, forged from AISI 420 surgical-grade stainless steel. Both blades carry tungsten carbide inlays along the full cutting edge, a material rated 5 times tougher than standard stainless steel on the Mohs hardness scale sustaining a sharp cutting line through repeated use without re-sharpening. One blade carries fine micro-serrations on its inner face, which grip tissue against the opposing smooth blade and prevent slippage during each cutting stroke. The standard ring-handle design fits thumb and ring finger, with a simple pivot joint and no ratchet lock, allowing rapid open-close cycles without resistance.

The straight blade configuration of these TC micro dissecting scissors delivers direct linear cuts along flat tissue planes with an unobstructed sightline along the full blade length. Sharp, fine-pointed tips allow accurate placement at suture knots and tissue margins without disturbing adjacent structures. The TC inserts maintain consistent blade shear geometry up to five times longer than stainless-only blades, and the instrument withstands repeated autoclave and ultrasonic cleaning cycles without edge degradation or corrosion.

Periodontists, oral surgeons, and ophthalmic surgeons use Iris Scissors TC (3.5cm) for suture removal, gingival tissue trimming, membrane contouring in bone grafting procedures, and fine tissue dissection during flap surgery. The Iris micro scissors straight configuration is also the standard instrument for trimming collagen membrane borders and cutting fine suture material flush at knot level in anterior and posterior sites.

Where other manufacturers treat instrument consistency as a baseline, Leader Surgical treats it as a standard worth protecting, delivering verified TC bonding, blade geometry, and material grade in every unit that leaves production.

Are iris scissors sharp?
Iris scissors were originally designed for ophthalmic procedures but are now used in a wide range of applications. The tips are sharp, and they come in curved, straight or angled styles.
