A hand-held, manual, ophthalmic surgical instrument intended to be used to cut the conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule on the eye surface to access the sclera. It comprises two pivoted blades which cut with a shearing action directly adjacent to the handles (thumb ring-handles or tweezers-like handles). It is typically made of metal and is available in various designs and sizes. It may additionally be used for cutting sutures and/or drapes, however, it is neither intended for intraocular surgery nor for other extraocular surgeries. This is a single-use device.
