Can I use these to cut materials like tubing or gauze?

Yes, they are completely latex-free. They are not manufactured with any natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for diverse clinical environments.
How do I need to prepare these before their first use?
These scissors are supplied non-sterile. Before their first use in a clinical setting, they must be cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for surgical instruments.
What is the physical length of this instrument?
The scissors measure 5-1/2 inches in total length, which is an ideal size for handling minor, routine surgical procedures with precision.
Is the handle design ergonomic for extended tasks?

Can these be reused after sterilization?
Yes, these are designed as reusable instruments. They are built to be cleaned, reprocessed, and sterilized multiple times without losing their functional integrity.

Does the straight blade design affect its cutting performance?
The straight configuration is specifically intended for straightforward cutting tasks. It provides a direct, predictable cutting path that is ideal for tasks where the scissors are used to trim materials at an accessible angle, such as cutting gauze or removing sutures.
