Vitreoretinal scissors are used in ophthalmology for controlled cutting during posterior segment surgery. Advanced vitrectomy scissors support accurate membrane dissection in confined intraocular spaces. RUMEX offers vertical scissors—typically used for cutting straight down, perpendicular to the retina, to release strong pulling forces—as well as angled horizontal scissors, commonly used for gentle peeling along the retinal surface, and curved scissors, which provide greater flexibility for precise cutting in tight or hard-to-reach areas.

| FAQ |
|---|
| Which scissor orientation is best for membrane segmentation? Vertical, horizontal, curved, and angled configurations are selected based on membrane location and direction of cutting. What gauge options are offered? Available options from RUMEX include 20-, 23-, and 25-gauge, depending on the product line. Are curved tips available? Yes, curved and angled tips may be available to improve access to membranes and peripheral pathology. Are they reusable or single-use? Both reusable and single-use versions are available, this is a page for reusable vitreoretinal models. How should cutting performance be evaluated? Assess under magnification for clean cutting, proper blade closure, smooth actuation, and absence of snagging, bending, or dullness. |
