Description

Sklarlite Sklarcut Operating Scissors, also known as Surgical Scissors, are a versatile surgical instrument. With three available tip configurations (sharp/sharp, blunt/blunt, or sharp/blunt), varying curvatures and multiple lengths, these scissors are used for general, multipurpose cutting and dissecting. Sharp Operating Scissors cut tougher tissue and are frequently used for dissecting, whereas blunt Operating Scissors are more often used for cutting materials such as sutures, tubing, or gauze. Sklarlite Sklarcut Scissors are a lighter version of the standard Sklar scissors that feature micro-serrations on one blade to assist in securely holding the tissue during cutting and minimize tissue from slipping so the most accurate and atraumatic cuts can be made. A unique manufacturing process developed by Sklar shaves microns off standard pattern instruments while maintaining structural integrity and durability. This lightweight modification provides the surgeon with greater control and less fatigue. Sklarcut scissors are identified by a single gold coated finger ring on the handle of the serrated blade. This product is curved with one micro-serrated edge blade, sharp/sharp tips, and an overall length of 5-1/2 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Does the lightweight design help reduce hand fatigue?

Yes, the Sklarlite manufacturing process removes unnecessary mass from the standard pattern. This significantly reduces surgeon fatigue and provides superior control, making these scissors an excellent choice for procedures requiring extended use.

What is the benefit of the micro-serrated blade?

The micro-serrated edge is engineered to securely grip tissue during the cutting process. This prevents slippage, which results in more accurate and atraumatic incisions compared to standard smooth blades.

How can I identify which blade is micro-serrated?

The scissors feature a distinctive gold-coated finger ring on the handle. This ring indicates the specific blade that incorporates the micro-serrations, allowing for quick and easy identification during surgery.
