Description

Sklar's Surgi-OR Shortbent suture scissors are primarily used for suture removal. These scissors have a small hook shaped tip on one blade that slides under sutures to slightly lift them slightly before cutting for removal. This hook also holds the suture so it does not slip off the blade of the scissors prior to cutting. Shortbent suture scissors are smaller than many standard suture scissors and they have delicate blades, ideal for removal of small sutures. They should not be used for cutting tissue. Surgi-OR mid-grade instruments are forged from the highest quality Japanese steel and provide reliable instrumentation for the operating room and other surgical centers. Surgi-OR instruments are a cost-effective line of instruments that must meet Sklar's quality standards..

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors made of durable materials?
