Description

Surgi-OR Utility Scissors are a multipurpose instrument used for cutting non-sterile materials such as dressings, casts, and surgical drapes. The flattened, wide, blunt tip on the serrated blade greatly reduces the likelihood of skin being nicked if the scissors are used for cutting material that is on the patient, such as clothing or bandages. They should never be used to cut tissue or sutures. These scissors feature plastic finger ring handles with one ring that is larger than the other. Surgi-OR mid-grade instruments provide cost-effective, reliable instrumentation for the operating room and surgical centers.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors safe to use near a patient's skin?

Yes, they are specifically engineered with safety in mind. The blades feature a flattened, wide, blunt tip, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental nicks or skin injuries when cutting bandages or clothing directly on a patient.

Are these scissors designed for multiple uses?

Absolutely. These are reusable, mid-grade surgical instruments designed for long-term reliability in clinical settings, making them a cost-effective choice compared to disposable alternatives.

Can I use these to cut through surgical drapes or dressings?

Yes, they are designed as a multipurpose utility tool for non-sterile materials, including:

  • Surgical drapes
  • Casts
  • Dressings and bandages
  • Clothing
Do these contain any natural rubber latex?

No, these scissors are 100% latex-free, making them safe for use by or on patients with latex sensitivities.

How does the handle design improve grip?

The scissors feature asymmetrical plastic finger rings where one ring is intentionally larger than the other. This ergonomic configuration allows for better operational control and a more secure grip during use.

Are these suitable for precision tissue cutting?

No, these are strictly non-tissue utility scissors. They should not be used to cut sutures or human tissue; they are intended solely for utility tasks involving dressings, clothing, or drapes.

What is the benefit of the serrated blade edge?

The serrated working edge provides superior grip on slippery or synthetic materials, allowing you to cut through tough bandages or surgical drapes cleanly without the material sliding away from the blade.

Is the stainless steel material durable enough for daily use?

Yes, the blades are constructed from high-quality, robust stainless steel. These instruments are built to withstand the rigorous demands of busy operating rooms and emergency settings.

Why is there an angled design to these shears?

The angled profile is a key functional design element. It provides improved leverage and maneuverability, making it much easier to cut materials in confined spaces or directly against a patient’s body without straining your wrist.

Should I sterilize these before their first use?

Yes, these scissors are supplied in a non-sterile condition. You should follow your facility’s standard protocols for the cleaning and sterilization of reusable surgical instruments before introducing them into a sterile environment.
