Enucleation scissors, reusable (A hand-held, manual, ophthalmic surgical instrument intended to be used to cut tissue during surgery involving enucleation of the eye and/or its related structures (i.e., the removal of the eyeball to, e.g., remove a malignant tumour or to relieve intolerable pain in a blind eye). It comprises two pivoted blades that are usually provided with a finger and thumb ring-handle and which cut with a shearing action (i.e., the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed). It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and is available in various designs and sizes; some designs may additionally be used for cutting sutures and drapes. This is a reusable device.)
