Description

Econo Littauer Suture Scissors are a disposable, floor-grade instrument used for suture removal. These scissors have a small hook shaped tip on one blade that slides under sutures to slightly lift them before cutting for removal. This hook also holds the suture so it does not slip off the blade of the scissors prior to cutting. Littauer suture scissors typically have larger, less delicate tips than Spencer Stitch Scissors, and are often used for removing larger sutures. They should not be used for cutting tissue. Econo instruments are Sklar's floor-grade, disposable instruments and are sold in bulk quantities.

Frequently asked questions

Does the hook design effectively prevent suture slippage?

Yes, these scissors feature a specialized hook tip specifically engineered to slide under sutures. This design allows you to lift and secure the material, ensuring it stays firmly in place so the blades can provide a clean, precise cut without slipping.

Are these scissors suitable for thicker suture types?

Absolutely. These scissors are optimized for larger, more substantial sutures. Their design is less delicate than standard stitch scissors, making them the preferred choice when dealing with heavier or thicker materials.

Are the materials used high-quality stainless steel?

Yes, they are manufactured from durable stainless steel. This ensures that the instrument maintains its functional integrity and sharpness throughout its intended use.

Are these instruments free from natural rubber latex?

Yes, all Econo Littauer Suture Scissors are 100% latex-free, making them a safe choice for patients or clinical staff with latex sensitivities.

Is the design comfortable for standard clinical use?

They are designed with standard finger ring handles, which provide a familiar, ergonomic grip that is consistent with professional surgical instrumentation.

Should these be used for cutting tissue?

No, these scissors are strictly intended for suture removal. They are specifically calibrated for cutting suture material and should not be utilized for tissue dissection.

Are these scissors considered reliable for high-volume settings?

Yes, being part of Sklar’s Econo floor-grade line, they are ideal for environments that require consistent, high-volume instrumentation where disposable convenience is a priority.

What is the specific tip configuration?

The scissors feature a blunt/blunt (B/B) tip configuration, with one blade specifically modified with a suture hook to assist in safe and efficient removal.

Do these arrive ready for immediate surgical use?

These instruments are shipped non-sterile. Please ensure you follow your facility’s protocols for sterilization or preparation before using them in a clinical procedure.

How many scissors are included in one box?

Each box contains 12 individual suture scissors, making it a cost-effective solution for clinical environments needing a reliable bulk supply.
