Frequently asked questions
Do the shears offer superior cutting power?
Yes, the Sklar Edge™ TC Bruns Plaster Shears feature Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts on their cutting edges. This provides superior hardness and longevity for precise material removal, especially for plaster and fiberglass casting materials.
Are these shears safe for patient use?
Absolutely. Patient safety is prioritized with a blunted probe end on the lower blade, which is slightly longer than the standard blade. This design prevents patient injury during casting removal. However, it’s crucial these shears are never used on patient tissue.
Are the shears easy to control?
Yes, these are non-ratcheted finger ring shears with a specialty design. They feature one larger ring for thumb control, optimized for a robust grip during plaster and fiberglass manipulation.
Will these shears last a long time?
Yes, these shears are built for durability. They are made from high-grade stainless steel and augmented with tungsten carbide inserts, conforming to Sklar Premium or Grade standards, ensuring longevity and reprocessing compatibility.
What materials can these shears cut?
These shears are specifically engineered for the removal of plaster and fiberglass casting materials. They are a heavy-duty specialty tool designed for this purpose.
How do I identify these specialized shears?
The shears are easily identifiable by their gold handles, which are the specific indicator for Tungsten Carbide (TC) instruments, signifying enhanced durability and edge retention. This also allows for quick visual identification on a surgical tray.
Are these shears TAA Compliant?
Yes, the Sklar Edge™ TC Bruns Plaster Shears are TAA Compliant, making them suitable for specific government procurement needs.
What is the length of the instrument?
The instrument has an overall length of 9-1/2 inches.
