Iris Scissors with blades are handcrafted with tungsten carbide inlays that increase durability, provide the sharpest cutting edge, and extend the lifetime of the product. The Iris Scissors were first designed for the intricacies demanded by ophthalmic surgery. Today these fine, sharp scissors can be used in other contexts where precision is required. The CANDID ENTERPRISES Iris Scissor is available with a straight or curved tips and with the micro serrated blade that allows for clean cuts through delicate tissue. Scissors combine the performance and precision of supercut with the durability of tungsten carbide cutting edges. These scissors: 1) feature tungsten carbide inlays on both blades for increased durability, sharper cutting edges and enhanced service life; 2) have one standard blade and one with micro-serrations; 3) feature inlays that are soldered onto the blades in a vacuum oven, not welded, resulting in a harder and more durable inlay than those welded on in a traditional process; and 4) feature gold-plated handles with stripes.
