New surgical instruments combine needle holders and scissors in two sizes for muscle, oculoplastic, and microsurgery. These tools are effective for various eye surgeries, including cataract and squint procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Instrumentation
  • Ophthalmic Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Standard surgical tools may lack versatility for delicate procedures.
  • Oculoplastic and microsurgery demand specialized instruments for precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel combined needle holder and scissors instrument.
  • To evaluate its utility across different surgical specialties.

Main Methods:

  • Design of a dual-size combined needle holder and scissors.
  • Application in procedures using suture sizes 10-0 to 6-0.
  • Utilized with needles of 75 to 200 micron diameter.

Main Results:

  • The instrument demonstrated utility in muscle surgery and oculoplastic surgery.
