Frequently asked questions
Are these scissors safe for use near skin?
Yes, they are designed with a flattened, wide, blunt tip on the serrated blade. This specialized configuration significantly reduces the risk of accidental skin nicks when cutting bandages or clothing directly on a patient.
Can these scissors be used for surgical procedures?
These scissors are specifically designed for cutting non-sterile materials such as dressings, casts, and drapes. They are not intended for cutting tissue or sutures.
Is the stainless steel of high quality?
Yes, these are part of Sklar’s professional Merit physician-grade line. The blades are crafted from durable stainless steel and feature the engraving ‘STAINLESS GERMANY,’ reflecting a high standard of manufacturing.
Will the handle be comfortable for long periods?
The scissors feature ergonomic plastic finger ring handles. One ring is intentionally larger than the other to provide superior grip control and enhanced comfort during use.
Are these scissors considered reusable?

Do these scissors contain any latex?

Why is the blade serrated?
The serrated working edge is specifically engineered to provide a better grip on tough or slippery materials like synthetic casts, bandages, and heavy fabrics, ensuring a clean and efficient cut.
What is the primary benefit of the angled design?
The angled configuration allows the user to maintain a more natural wrist position while cutting materials against a surface, which provides better visibility and control during minor in-office procedures.
Are these easy to identify in a busy office?
Yes, the distinctive dark blue handles make these scissors easy to spot and identify quickly, even in a busy medical or emergency kit environment.
Is this a sterile product?
