Frequently asked questions
Are these scissors truly designed for left-handed users?

Can these scissors withstand repeated sterilization cycles?
Absolutely. These are professional-grade, reusable surgical instruments built to endure repeated sterilization processes. They are constructed from high-quality stainless steel designed to maintain their integrity and performance over many cycles, making them a sustainable choice for your medical facility.
Is the stainless steel construction high quality?
Yes, Sklar uses high-grade stainless steel for this instrument. This material choice ensures:
- Superior durability and resistance to corrosion.
- The ability to maintain a sharp, smooth working edge through extensive use.
- Long-term reliability in clinical environments.
Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?
You can use them with confidence; these scissors are 100% free of natural rubber latex. They are a safe option for medical settings where latex-free compliance is required.
What is the primary surgical use for this straight model?
This 5-1/2 inch straight model is primarily utilized for:
- Surface tissue dissection.
- Suture cutting.
The blunt/blunt (B/B) tip configuration provides an added layer of safety during surgical procedures, ensuring precise control without accidental puncturing.
Is this product TAA compliant?
Yes, this instrument is fully TAA compliant, making it an ideal choice for government facilities or institutions that require adherence to the Trade Agreements Act.
Does the instrument require any special maintenance?
As a precision surgical tool, it should be processed according to your facility’s standard protocols for reusable stainless steel surgical instruments. To maintain the longevity of the blades, ensure proper cleaning and sterilization procedures are followed after every use.
Are the tips sharp enough for precise work?
The scissors feature a standard beveled blade with a smooth working edge. They are designed for precision cutting; however, they are specifically configured with blunt/blunt tips to ensure safety when working near surface tissues, preventing unintended tissue damage.
Is this a new, factory-sealed instrument?
Yes, every unit is Factory New. You will receive an authentic Sklar-manufactured instrument directly from the source, ensuring you get the high quality and precision expected from the brand.
What is the total length of the scissors?
