Product description
What’s included: one curved Iris scissor and one straight Iris scissor, each measuring 4.5 inches overall. Both are supplied as a matching two-piece set suitable for clinical and procedural use.
Materials and finish: the cutting edges are made from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and edge retention. The handles are fashioned from a lightweight aluminum alloy to reduce hand fatigue while maintaining a stable frame.

The curved blade helps access confined or contoured areas; the straight blade is intended for precise linear cuts and suture work. Ergonomic shaping of the rings and balance aim to improve control and reduce hand strain during repeated use.

Robert Nelson 4/5
Solid construction, needs use to loosen
Seems well made — the joints are a bit stiff at first but they perform well after a few uses.

Marc Francisco 2/5
Blade finish questionable
Edge looked uneven and had a rough ground appearance.
-
Jack Hammer 2/5
Designed for smaller hands
Finger holes and overall size fit petite hands better; larger fingers find them cramped.

Danielle 5/5
Useful around the house and clinic
Very handy! Slices through bandages, tape and gauze with ease. Lightweight without feeling fragile and a comfortable size for my small hands. Good value for a two-pack; I’d buy again.

Kevin R. Hunt 1/5
Multiple defects; disappointing quality control
I rated these one star because both scissors in the set had problems. The straight pair arrived with one tip snapped off, and the curved pair had a small burr on one tip while the opposite tip looked rounded rather than pointed. Both joints felt loose and wobbly and the small screws provided don’t allow easy tightening. Could be a bad batch, but receiving two flawed pieces is unacceptable.
