Frequently asked questions
Is the stainless steel grade suitable for repeated sterilization?
Yes, these scissors are constructed from high-quality stainless steel specifically designed for medical environments. They are fully reusable and built to withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity.
Does the hook design prevent accidental slipping during removal?
Absolutely. The integrated suture hook serves two essential purposes: it elevates the suture for a clean cut and acts as a mechanical stop to secure the thread, effectively preventing it from slipping off the blade before you are ready to cut.
Can I use these scissors to cut tissue as well?
No, these are strictly designed for suture removal. They feature blunt/blunt tips and are optimized specifically for sliding under and cutting thread; they are not intended or suitable for tissue dissection.
Are these scissors appropriate for delicate, fine sutures?
Yes, the 3-1/2 inch size is specifically engineered for precision. The compact length and delicate tip configuration make them an excellent choice for navigating and removing smaller, more intricate suture materials.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes. This product is guaranteed to be not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring it is safe for use on patients with latex sensitivities.
Does the tool feel comfortable during repetitive use?
The scissors feature ergonomic standard finger ring handles, which provide a secure and familiar grip, allowing for controlled and steady movement throughout clinical procedures.
Is the construction quality backed by a long-term guarantee?
Yes, Sklar stands behind the quality and durability of this instrument with a Lifetime warranty, reflecting their commitment to professional-grade surgical tools.
Is this product TAA compliant?
Yes, the Sklar Spencer (Littauer) Suture Scissors are fully TAA compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for federal procurement and government supply chains.
Does the product arrive in a sterile condition?
The scissors are supplied as non-sterile. They will need to undergo your facility’s standard sterilization process before their first clinical use.
What is the primary advantage of the blunt/blunt tip design?
The blunt/blunt (B/B) tip configuration is a safety feature that minimizes the risk of accidental injury or tissue trauma while you are sliding the blade beneath a suture.
