Graefe Tenotomy Scissors – Ophthalmic Tendon Scissors

Graefe Tenotomy Scissors, named after the pioneering German ophthalmologist Albrecht von Graefe (1828–1870), are delicate ophthalmic instruments specifically designed for tenotomy of extraocular muscles during strabismus correction surgery. Forged from AISI 420 martensitic German stainless steel hardened to 54–56 HRC, these scissors feature fine, slightly curved blades with sharp tips for precise tendon division under the operating microscope.

The refined blade geometry allows controlled division of the inferior oblique, superior oblique, and rectus muscles while protecting adjacent scleral and conjunctival tissue. Graefe tenotomy scissors are a staple instrument in paediatric and adult strabismus surgical trays.
