Description

Surgi-OR Spencer Stitch Scissors are a mid-grade instrument used for cutting surgical material or suture removal. They are ideal for use in the operating room or surgical center. These scissors have a small hook shaped tip on one blade that slides under sutures to slightly lift them before cutting for removal. This hook also holds the suture so it does not slip off the blade of the scissors prior to cutting. They are available in multiple lengths and curvatures. Spencer Stitch Scissors should not be used for cutting tissue. This product is straight with smooth, blunt/blunt tips and a length of 5-1/2 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Does the hook design effectively prevent suture slippage?

Yes. The scissors feature a specialized hook-shaped tip on one blade. This design allows you to slide the blade under the suture and lift it slightly, ensuring the thread stays securely in place while you make the cut.

Is the stainless steel durable enough for frequent sterilization?

Absolutely. These instruments are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and are specifically designed to withstand the rigorous, repeated sterilization processes required in clinical and operating room environments.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this product is 100% latex-free. It is confirmed to not be made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments with strict allergy protocols.

Can I use these scissors to cut tissue?

No, these scissors are specifically engineered for cutting surgical material and suture removal. Using them for tissue cutting is not recommended, as they are optimized for the precision required for suture work.

Does the ergonomic design ensure steady control?

The scissors feature standard finger rings that are designed for a comfortable and secure grip. This ergonomic setup provides the stability necessary for delicate and precise surgical procedures.

What is the primary benefit of the blunt/blunt tip configuration?

The blunt/blunt (B/B) tip design is intended to enhance patient safety by preventing accidental punctures or tissue damage during the suture removal process, while still allowing the hook to easily catch and lift the suture.

How long can I expect these scissors to last?

These scissors are built for longevity as a reusable surgical instrument. They are backed by a lifetime warranty, reflecting their reliability and the high standard of Sklar’s Surgi-OR mid-grade construction.

Is the finish of the scissors prone to glare?

The instrument features a professional satin/brushed stainless steel finish. This type of finish is standard in surgical settings as it minimizes distracting light reflections, allowing for better visibility during procedures.

Are these scissors considered professional-grade?

Yes, they are part of the Surgi-OR mid-grade line. They are designed specifically for use in professional operating rooms and surgical centers where dependable, high-performing instruments are essential.

Should I be aware of any special handling before first use?

Yes, please note that the instruments are supplied non-sterile. Prior to their first use, they must be cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for surgical stainless steel instruments.
