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 straight with smooth, blunt/blunt blades, and a length of 16 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Are the tungsten carbide inserts permanently bonded?

Yes, the Sklar Edge™ series utilizes permanently bonded tungsten carbide inserts. This advanced construction ensures the blades maintain a superior cutting edge for a much longer duration than standard stainless steel instruments.

Is the 16-inch length suitable for deep-tissue procedures?

Absolutely. The 16-inch length is specifically engineered to provide the necessary reach and leverage for demanding surgeries, including deep-tissue bariatric procedures such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

How do I easily identify these from standard scissors?

These premium instruments are easily distinguished by their dual gold-coated finger rings. This signature feature of the Sklar Edge™ line allows for quick and efficient identification in busy operating room environments.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the Sklar Edge™ TC Mayo Bariatric Dissecting Scissors are completely latex-free, ensuring they are safe for use on patients with natural rubber latex sensitivities.

Do these scissors require frequent sharpening?

Thanks to the high-hardness tungsten carbide inserts, these scissors are designed to resist wear significantly better than standard steel. This feature minimizes the frequency of sharpening required, helping to maintain high precision over time.

Is this instrument reusable for clinical settings?

Yes, this is a reusable surgical instrument. It is built for professional-grade durability, making it an excellent investment for medical facilities that require high-quality tools for repetitive, precision-focused surgical tasks.

Are the tips safe for delicate surgical applications?

The scissors feature blunt/blunt (B/B) tips. This configuration is specifically chosen to provide safety and control during both surface and deep-tissue applications, reducing the risk of accidental injury to surrounding tissue.

What sterilization process should be used before surgery?

This product is supplied non-sterile. Before the first use and subsequent uses, it must be properly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for reusable surgical instrumentation.

Are these scissors compliant with regulatory standards?

Yes, the Sklar Edge™ TC Mayo Bariatric Dissecting Scissors are TAA compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for institutional procurement and use.

Are these intended only for bariatric surgery?

While specifically optimized for bariatric needs, the straight design is highly versatile. They are ideal for any general surgical environment where a high-durability, long-reach instrument is required for surface tissue work or suture cutting.
