With three available tip configurations (sharp/sharp, blunt/blunt, or sharp/blunt), varying curvatures and multiple lengths, these scissors are used for general, multipurpose cutting and dissecting.

These cost effective, high quality instruments are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee.
