- Ideal for ophthalmology and dermatology, it features a micro-serrated blade and black anti-glare coating, ensuring superior cutting, reduced tissue slippage, and extended lifespan
Uses
-
Designed for surgical applications, primarily for cutting and dissecting delicate tissues
-
Specific specialties where these scissors are used include:
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Dermatology procedures
- Plastic surgery
- General surgery
- Dental and oral surgery procedures
- Veterinary applications
Features
- Threefold design:
- The blades incorporate ceramic coating, tungsten carbide, and the SuperCut blade design for optimized performance
- SuperCut blade design:
- Features a razor-sharp upper blade edge and a lower blade with micro-fine serrations, which holds tissue and helps prevent slippage during cutting
- Ceramic coating:
- Offers high surface hardness (82 HRC, 4-6 times higher than regular tungsten carbide scissors) and a smooth surface, which minimizes friction and reduces wear and tear
- Tungsten carbide edges:
- Provides exceptional durability and precision cutting performance
- Material:
- Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring professional quality and reliability
- Design:
- Straight blades, 4-5/8" (116mm) length
- German craftsmanship:
- These instruments are manufactured in Germany to exacting specifications
- Identification:
- The scissors can be identified by the combination of ceramic coating and possibly specific handle markings, which for Miltex SuperCut/Tungsten Carbide scissors usually involves one short and one long gold-plated ring handle
Benefits
- Extended sharpness:
- The advanced threefold design helps the blade maintain its sharpness approximately 81% longer than standard stainless steel scissors
- Precision cutting:
- Fine, sharp blades ensure clean and accurate cuts, which is essential for delicate procedures
- Enhanced control:
- The micro-fine serrations on the lower blade securely hold tissue, preventing slippage and allowing for greater control
- Durability and longevity:
- The combination of ceramic and tungsten carbide creates a stronger, more resistant surface, protecting against wear, tear, and corrosion, leading to a longer instrument service life
- Reduced friction:
- The smooth ceramic-coated surface significantly reduces friction and abrasion
- Biocompatibility:
- Ceramics are biocompatible and non-allergenic, an important feature for surgical instruments
- Cost savings:
- Due to their enhanced durability and extended service life, these premium-grade scissors offer a considerable cost savings to the clinician over time by reducing the need for frequent replacements
- Easy to sterilize:
- Can be easily cleaned and sterilized, helping to maintain high hygiene standards in medical environments
