Description

Sklar Edge™ TC Mayo Dissecting Scissors are a modification of standard Mayo scissors that provide an exceptionally hard and durable cutting edge designed to stay sharp for a significantly longer period of time than standard scissors. Sklar permanently bonds the tungsten carbide inserts to the blade of the scissors which maximizes control and precision as well. Mayo Scissors are a versatile instrument that can be used in multiple procedures and settings. They are available straight or curved, in a variety of lengths, and have a standard beveled blade. While the curved instrument is most commonly utilized for cutting or dissecting dense or deep tissue, and the straight version is typically used for cutting surface tissue or sutures, both may be used interchangeably depending on procedure and physician preference. Longer lengths are most commonly used in surgeries such as gastric bypass, gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy. Identified by the handle of two gold coated finger rings these Sklar Edge™ TC scissors are curved with smooth, blunt/blunt blades, and a length of 16 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors durable enough for heavy daily use?

Yes, these scissors are engineered for high-demand surgical environments. The tungsten carbide inserts are permanently bonded to the blades, providing an exceptionally hard edge that retains sharpness significantly longer than standard stainless steel instruments.

Why are the finger rings colored gold?

The dual gold-coated finger rings are the industry-standard visual indicator for high-quality tungsten carbide inserts. This allows surgical staff to quickly distinguish these precision instruments from standard stainless steel scissors.

Is the length suitable for deep-tissue procedures?

Absolutely. These scissors feature an extended 16-inch length, which is specifically engineered to provide surgeons with the necessary reach for complex bariatric procedures such as gastric bypass, gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy.

Does the curved design help with precision dissection?

Yes, the curved profile is specifically designed to aid in the dissection of dense or deep tissue. This geometry provides the necessary leverage and angle for atraumatic maneuvering in deep surgical fields.

Are the blades safe for delicate maneuvering?

Yes, the blades feature a blunt/blunt (B/B) tip design, which is intended to facilitate safe, atraumatic dissection and maneuvering within sensitive surgical areas.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the Sklar Edge™ TC Mayo Bariatric Dissecting Scissors are 100% latex-free, making them a safe choice for use in diverse surgical settings.

Can these scissors be sterilized for repeated use?

Yes, these are reusable surgical instruments. While they arrive non-sterile and must be processed according to your facility’s protocols before their first use, they are designed to withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization cycles.

What type of steel is used in their construction?

The instrument body is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, complemented by durable tungsten carbide inserts on the cutting edges to ensure superior performance and longevity.

Are these scissors compliant with government procurement standards?

Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meeting the requirements for supply to U.S. government facilities.

Are these scissors effective for cutting tough tissue?

Yes, the combination of the smooth working edge and the hardness of the tungsten carbide inserts allows for clean, precise cutting through dense tissue, maintaining consistency even after extensive use.
