Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors suitable for cutting tougher tissue?

Yes, these scissors are specifically engineered for versatility in surgical settings. The sharp/sharp (S/S) tip configuration is purposefully designed to provide the precision required for cutting and dissecting denser, tougher tissue rather than soft materials.

Is the stainless steel construction high quality?

Absolutely. These scissors are manufactured from durable, medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring they are robust enough for repeated use while maintaining their functional integrity over a long period.

Can these scissors be reused in a clinical environment?

Yes, this is a reusable medical instrument. Designed for professional surgical use, they are built to withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization and surgical applications.

What is the benefit of the curved-on-flat design?

The curved-on-flat curvature is a specialized feature that allows surgeons to perform dissection approaches that require a specific arc, providing better access and precision compared to straight-blade alternatives.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, these instruments are 100% latex-free. They are not manufactured with natural rubber latex, making them safe for use in clinical environments involving patients with latex sensitivities.

What does the CensiTrac mark indicate?

The CensiTrac mark is an instrument identification standard that assists in the tracking and quality assurance of surgical tools, ensuring the instrument meets high professional standards for medical inventory and maintenance.

Are these scissors compliant with government purchasing standards?

Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements necessary for procurement by various government and institutional entities.

How should I handle these scissors for optimal precision?

These scissors are equipped with traditional finger ring handles, which provide a secure and ergonomic grip, allowing for the steady manual control required during delicate dissection and surgical tasks.

Do I need to sterilize these before their first use?

Yes. These scissors are provided non-sterile in factory-new condition. As with all reusable surgical instrumentation, they must be properly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s protocols before being introduced into a sterile field.

Is this product backed by a reliable warranty?

Yes, these Sklar Operating Scissors come with a Lifetime warranty, reflecting the manufacturer’s commitment to the quality, craftsmanship, and long-term durability of the instrument.
