Miltex® Wilmer Conjunctival Scissors
4-1/8" (104mm) | Blades Angled on Flat | 5/8" (15mm) Blade | German Stainless Steel

The Miltex® Wilmer Conjunctival Scissors (18-1440) are precision ophthalmic scissors designed for fine conjunctival tissue dissection and cutting. Manufactured to Miltex's high-quality German instrument standards, the blades are angled on the flat, allowing clinicians to maintain a natural hand position while keeping the cutting edge oriented correctly against the curved surface of the eye.

The 5/8" (15mm) blade length is suited to precise, controlled cutting in the confined anatomical space of the conjunctiva, supporting delicate ophthalmic procedures where accuracy and tissue preservation are essential. At 4-1/8" (104mm) overall length, these scissors offer a compact, well-balanced profile for close ocular work.

As a reusable stainless steel instrument, these scissors are designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining their precision and finish over the long term, supporting reliable, repeatable performance across procedures.
