Stevens Tenotomy Scissors

• These small scissors are used in the same
  circumstances as the iris scissors. However,
  they are not often seen in straight form.
  Straight irises may be used for suture in these
  cases. The difference between iris and tenotomy
  scissors is the way the tenotomy scissors have a
  hipped tip that gives way to a narrow sharp
  pointed tip. Irises have a smooth taper along
  the full length of the blades. Cutting category.

4
Iris Scissors

• These scissors come in straight and curved
  varieties. They are used for fine sutures
  (straight) and tissues (curved) in small
  superficial wounds. Cutting category.

5
Facelift Scissors

• These long scissors are used for cutting and
  undermining the skin of the face during a
  facelift. They are sharp on their anterior
  surface as well as their lateral edges making
  undermining as deep as the nose easy.

6
Liposuction Cannulae

• These cannulae are inserted under the skin
  through a tiny incision. The distal end is
  connected to a high powered suction machine. The
  surgeon slides them back and forth quickly
  beneath the skin and suctions out excess adipose
  tissue. Miscellaneous.

7
Infusion Cannula

• This cannula is used to infuse hemostatic fluids
  into the subcuticular tissue before liposuction.
  This helps to reduce bleeding during the case.

8
Nerve Stimulator

• This battery operated devise is used in
  procedures where nerves are difficult to identify
  such as the neck. The needle end is placed into
  muscle tissue and the blunt end is touched to the
  tissue that looks like nerve. If it is nerve,
  the muscle will twitch. It is disposable.

9
Alm Retractor

• This small self retaining retractor is used in
  small incisions. It is expanded in the incision
  by twisting the screw mechanism at the end.

10
Finger Tournicot

• This band is put onto a finger that needs to be
  repaired, and rolled down to the base. It is
  tight and restricts blood flow to the operative
  field. It saves the patient from having to wear
  the sometimes dangerous tourniquet on their arm.
  It can not be left on for longer than an hour so
  time must be noted when it is applied, and the
  surgeon should be notified as the one hour mark
  approaches. They may also be used on toes. They
  are disposable.

11
Vessel Loops

• These soft pliable strands come in a variety of
  colors that are only significant in that it helps
  to differentiate which loop holds which
  structure. They are looped under a small vessel
  or nerve to hold them safely out of the visual
  field. They are soft enough to avoid damage to
  delicate structures. They are disposable.

13
Eye Cautery

• This is a low voltage battery operated cautery
  pencil with a very fine tip for use under the
  microscope. It is disposable.

14
Eye Knife Blades

• The knife blades to be used during any eye
  procedure will include any of those pictured
  here, according to physician preference. These
  are all to be used on the globe of the eye. Any
  lid procedure, including blephroplasty, will use
  a standard 15 blade on a 3 knife handle.
  Cutting category.

15
Wekcel Eye Spears

• These sponges are compressed and expand when they
  are wet. They are lint free, extremely
  absorbent, and become very soft when moist.
  These properties make them ideal for use during
  eye procedures and almost any other procedure
  done under the microscope. They are not radio
  opaque but should be counted.

16
Eye Pad

• These pads are used to dress and protect the eye
  after eye procedures. They might also be used to
  protect the non-operative eye during the
  procedure.

17
Jameson Muscle Hook

• This hook is used to retract eye muscles during
  eye procedures involving the muscles. They
  belong to the retractor category.

18
Graefe Forceps

• These forceps are used by plastic surgeons for
  grasping tissue firmly but without using damaging
  teeth. The tip is like an allis clamp.

19
.12 McPherson Forcep

• This micro tipped forcep is used during eye and
  other microscopic procedures. They will be used
  singlely during the procedure and in pairs when
  tying suture. Grasping category.

20
Bishop-Harmon Forceps

• These forceps are microscopic and used in eye
  procedures. They have the distinctive 3 hole
  design on the sides of the instrument.

21
Chalazion Forceps

• This grasping instrument holds the blister like
  chalazion prominently so the surgeon can incise
  it.

22
Colibri Forceps

• This is a microscopic grasping instrument used
  during cataract procedures. It is used to peel
  the membrane away from the lens of the eye.

23
Cyclodialysis Spatula

• This microscopic instrument is used as a probe
  during cataract procedures to help the suction
  tip evacuate all of the particles of damaged
  lens. Miscellaneous.

24
Desmarres Retractor

• This retractor is used during eye procedures and
  nose procedures.

25
Eye Calipers

• This instrument is a measuring device used in
  micro procedures.

26
Lid Speculum

• This is a self retaining retractor used to keep
  the eyelids open during operations.

27
Kirby Muscle Hook

• This retractor is used during eye muscle
  procedures to hold muscles out of the operative
  site.

28
Castroviejo Needle Holder

• This spring loaded needle holder comes in locking
  or non locking varieties. Be sure you ask the
  surgeon which type he prefers so he is not
  surprised when looking at the tip under the
  microscope. It is not appropriate for him to
  expect it to lock and he ends up dropping the
  stitch, or for him to expect it to not lock, and
  he tears the stitch through the tissue. These
  miscellaneous instruments are made for use with
  microscopic needles used under the microscope.

29
Westcott Scissors

• These micro scissors are used for all cutting
  under the microscope, both tissue and suture.
  The fine micro sutures will not damage the
  scissors.
