Scissors are essential surgical instruments. A special type of surgical scissors is the tenotomy scissors. This scissors are especially designed to allow the scissors to cut tissues in tight and constricted areas.

Microsurgery is a revolutionary method of repairing and transferring small body tissues such as blood vessels and nerves. This type of surgery requires the use of a microscope to see very small structures during the surgical procedure. The involved body tissues are so small that they are very difficult to manipulate using unaided vision. Consequently, the instruments used should also allow greater access and maneuverability.

An alger brush is specifically designed for removing rust rings on the corneal surface. It has a burr attached to a rotating instrument, which has a motor with very low torque. The motor utilizes a centrifugal force that rotates the burrs in a slow and well-controlled manner. It removes the rust ring by brushing of the corneal surface until all rust rings are removed. In this way, the corneal surface is left smooth, which facilitates healing faster and without any residual damage.
