Yes, these are professional-grade, reusable surgical instruments. They are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring the durability required for long-term use in clinical settings.
Is the length suitable for deep thoracic procedures?
Absolutely. Measuring at 12 inches, these scissors are intentionally longer than standard cardiovascular scissors. This extended length is specifically engineered to provide the necessary reach for complex thoracotomy procedures, such as lobectomies.
Does this instrument contain natural rubber latex?
No, the Sklar Crafoord Scissors are completely latex-free. They are manufactured without natural rubber latex to ensure patient and practitioner safety.

Yes, the instrument is shipped non-sterile. You must follow your facility’s standard protocols for the cleaning and sterilization of reusable surgical instruments before they are used in any procedure.
Does the handle design offer comfortable control?
The scissors feature a classic finger ring handle style. This traditional design provides reliable, ergonomic control, allowing the surgeon to maintain dexterity and a steady grip during intricate operations.
Are these scissors suited for precise dissecting tasks?
Yes, they are highly specialized tools. Their curved blades and blunt tips make them ideal for precise cutting and dissection, particularly during pulmonary and cardiothoracic surgeries where accuracy is paramount.
