The Angled Capsule Scissors are designed for controlled cutting and manipulation of the capsule where an angled working end can provide improved access to the operative area. The angled design allows the scissors to approach capsular tissue from different directions while maintaining the handles outside the immediate working area.
Two configurations are available, featuring 45° and 20° scissor angles. The 45° configuration has an overall length of 9.5" (24.1 cm), while the 20° configuration has an overall length of 10" (25.4 cm).
Key Features
- Angled scissor design for increased capsular access
- Available in 45° and 20° configurations
- 45° version: 9.5" (24.1 cm) overall length
- 20° version: 10" (25.4 cm) overall length
- Designed for controlled cutting and manipulation of capsular tissue
- Angled working end provides alternative approaches to the operative field
- Ring-style scissor handles for manual control
Angled Working Design
The defining feature of these scissors is the angled working end. Rather than positioning the cutting blades directly in line with the shaft, the blades are angled to provide a different approach to the capsule.
This configuration can help provide a greater range of capsular access by allowing the cutting end to be positioned according to the direction and location of the tissue being addressed.
45° Configuration
The 45° configuration provides a more pronounced angle at the working end.
Specifications:
- Scissor Angle: 45°
- Overall Length: 9.5" (24.1 cm)
The 45° angle provides a strongly angled approach to the capsule and can be selected when this orientation is appropriate for the intended procedure.
20° Configuration
The 20° configuration provides a less pronounced angle compared with the 45° version.
Specifications:
- Scissor Angle: 20°
- Overall Length: 10" (25.4 cm)
This configuration provides a more gradual angled approach while maintaining an extended overall instrument length.
Configuration Comparison
| Feature | 45° Configuration | 20° Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Scissor Angle | 45° | 20° |
| Overall Length | 9.5" (24.1 cm) | 10" (25.4 cm) |
| Primary Design | Angled capsule scissors | Angled capsule scissors |
| Working Approach | More pronounced angle | More gradual angle |
Capsular Access
The angled design is intended to provide a greater range of access to capsular tissue. The different angle options allow the instrument to be selected according to the preferred approach to the operative site.
The 45° version provides a more pronounced change in working direction, while the 20° version provides a more gradual angle.
Surgical Applications
The Angled Capsule Scissors are intended to assist with:
- Controlled cutting of capsular tissue
- Capsular manipulation
- Procedures requiring angled access to the capsule
- Surgical applications where a straight scissor configuration may provide less convenient access
- Orthopedic procedures involving capsular tissue
The appropriate angle should be selected according to the surgical approach and working position required.
Handle and Control
The scissors feature ring-style handles that allow the user to manually control the opening and closing of the blades. The extended shaft and angled working end position the blades away from the handle, helping provide access to the operative area.

Handling and Use Considerations
Select the scissor angle according to the required approach to the capsule and the surgical working position. Controlled movements should be used when cutting or manipulating capsular tissue.
Before use, inspect the blades, hinge, handles, and overall instrument condition. Ensure the scissors open and close smoothly and that the cutting edges are free from visible damage.
After use, follow the healthcare facility's established procedures for cleaning, inspection, sterilization, maintenance, and storage.
