Frequently asked questions
How do these scissors prevent wire from slipping?
These scissors feature a small, precision-engineered groove on each blade. This design effectively holds wire sutures or mesh in place, ensuring a stable grip and preventing slippage even under significant cutting pressure.
Why are the finger rings colored gold?
The gold-colored finger rings are a standard indicator that the scissors are equipped with permanently bonded Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts. These inserts significantly enhance cutting control and precision compared to standard stainless steel edges.
Are these scissors suitable for repeated surgical use?
Yes, these are professional-grade, reusable instruments. They are forged from high-quality Japanese stainless steel and are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of repeated sterilization and use within an operating room environment.
What is the benefit of the angled design?
The angled curvature of the 4-3/4” blades allows for improved visibility and accessibility. This design is particularly useful when you need to reach or navigate specific, confined surgical sites with precision.
Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. These scissors are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for use in medical environments where latex sensitivities are a concern.
Are these scissors specifically for heavy wire or mesh?
They are engineered specifically for the precise cutting of wire sutures and surgical mesh. The combination of short shanks, short jaws, and the integrated wire-holding groove makes them highly effective for these specific applications.
What does the 'Surgi-OR' mid-grade designation mean?
The Surgi-OR line represents a cost-effective, high-quality solution for surgical centers. These instruments meet Sklar’s rigorous quality standards while providing a balance between durability and affordability, ensuring reliable performance in the operating room.
What are the tip configurations on these scissors?
This model features a blunt/blunt (b/b) tip configuration, which is designed to provide safety and minimize the risk of tissue trauma during surgical procedures.
Do I need to sterilize these before the first use?
Yes, these instruments are delivered non-sterile. They must be properly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s protocols before being introduced into a surgical field.
Is there long-term coverage for these instruments?
Yes, Sklar provides a lifetime warranty for these Surgi-OR wire cutting scissors, reflecting the manufacturer’s commitment to the durability and craftsmanship of their surgical tools.
