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. Identified by the handle of two gold coated finger rings these Sklar Edge scissors are curved with smooth, blunt/blunt tips and a length of 5-1/2 inches.

Are these scissors suitable for cutting dense tissue?

Absolutely. These scissors are specifically designed for dense or deep tissue dissection. The curved Mayo pattern provides the necessary leverage and control required for demanding surgical procedures.

How can I easily identify these scissors in a busy tray?

These professional-grade scissors are easily identifiable by their dual gold-coated finger rings. This distinct aesthetic choice provides high visibility in fast-paced surgical environments.

Are these surgical scissors reusable?

Yes, these are reusable, premium-grade instruments. They are built for durability and are intended to be processed according to your facility’s standard protocols for surgical instruments.

Are the tips safe for deep tissue work?
