A lovely example of 19th century
keratotomy scissors. It is quite remarkable how very small these
scissor are and that after 100 years or so they still cut through
paper like a razor. The forceps are held between thumb and
forefinger and gentle pressure closed the scissor blades. The
leather covered wooden box is lined with red silk and marked Luer
Paris Instrts. De Chirurgie Rue Antoine Dubois 6. The scissors are
marked A Luer Paris.
