Description

Econo Sterile Littauer Wireform Scissors are a ready-to-use, sterile, disposable, floor-grade instrument. They are primarily used for suture removal. These finger ring 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. They should not be used for cutting tissue. This product is straight with smooth, sharp/blunt tips, and an overall length of 4-1/2 inches. It is sold in a case of 50.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, these scissors are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

Is the stainless steel used professional grade?

Yes, these instruments are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and reliable performance during clinical suture removal tasks.

How does the hook-tip benefit suture removal?

The specialized hook-tipped blade provides two key clinical advantages:

  • Precision: It safely lifts the suture away from the skin surface.
  • Stability: It prevents the thread from slipping out of the blade during the cutting process.
Are these scissors ready for immediate clinical use?

Yes, they are sterile and disposable, meaning they come ready to use straight out of the packaging. This eliminates the time and cost associated with cleaning and autoclave sterilization cycles.

Can these scissors be used to cut tissue?

No, these scissors are strictly designed for suture removal. They are not intended for cutting human tissue or other heavy-duty surgical tasks.

Are these instruments TAA compliant?

Yes, these Econo Sterile Littauer Wireform Scissors are TAA compliant, meeting the requirements for government and high-standard clinical procurement.

Does the 50-unit case offer value for busy clinics?

Absolutely. By providing 50 units per case, this configuration is specifically optimized for high-volume clinical environments, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution for inventory management.

What is the specific orientation of the blade tips?

These scissors feature a straight orientation with a sharp/blunt tip configuration, designed to provide versatility and safety for various suture removal scenarios.

How do these help prevent cross-contamination?

Because the scissors are intended for single-use, they significantly reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients, as each procedure begins with a fresh, sterile instrument.

What is the advantage of the Econo Sterile Floor Grade?

This grade signifies that the instruments are designed for procedural efficiency. You receive professional-grade stainless steel performance in a convenient, disposable format that maintains sterility without the burden of manual instrument maintenance.
