Description

Merit Sterile Littauer Suture Scissors are primarily 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 Stitch Scissors are most commonly available in the length of 5-1/2 inches, therefore, they typically have larger, less delicate tips than Spencer Stitch Scissors, and are used for removing larger sutures. They should not be used for cutting tissue. Merit Sterile instruments are ready-to-use, sterile, disposable, office-grade instruments most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. They are sold in bulk quantities.

Frequently asked questions

Does the hook tip help prevent suture slippage?

Yes. The key feature of these Littauer scissors is a small hook-shaped tip on one blade. This allows you to slide the blade beneath the suture and lift it, which securely holds the material in place and prevents slippage while you make the cut.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Absolutely. These instruments are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

Are these scissors sturdy enough for routine office procedures?

Yes. These are physician-grade, stainless steel instruments. They are engineered to be reliable and durable specifically for suture removal tasks in busy outpatient or minor surgical settings.

Can I use these scissors to cut soft tissue?

No, these scissors are specifically designed for suture removal. They feature a blunt tip configuration that is optimized for lifting threads and should not be used for cutting soft tissue.

Do these save time on instrument sterilization?

Yes, they are sterile and disposable. Because they are ready-to-use right out of the packaging, they eliminate the time and cost associated with cleaning, sterilizing, and maintaining reusable instruments.

Why are these better for larger sutures than Spencer scissors?

At 5-1/2 inches in length, these Littauer scissors feature slightly larger, more robust tips than the smaller Spencer Stitch Scissors. This makes them better suited for excising larger, thicker suture types.

Is the stainless steel high quality?

Yes, these are manufactured as part of the Merit Sterile line, which uses high-quality stainless steel to ensure a smooth, professional cutting experience for every procedure.

How are these scissors packaged for clinic storage?

They come in a bulk case of 50 individual units. This packaging is designed to help busy practices efficiently manage inventory and ensure you always have a sterile tool ready for a procedure.

Are the blades straight or curved?

These scissors feature a straight blade design, which is ideal for providing clear, linear access to superficial sutures during removal.

Is the finger ring handle designed for professional comfort?

Yes, the handles feature standard finger rings designed for a secure, controlled grip, ensuring the precision necessary when working with fine or delicate suture materials.
