- Designed for surgical use, featuring tungsten carbide inserts for enhanced durability and performance
Uses
- Used as sturdy surgical scissors for general surgery, podiatry, and veterinary applications
- They are specifically designed for cutting and dissecting thicker, heavier tissues like:
- Fascia
- Ligaments
- Larger fibrous bands
Features
- Tungsten Carbide (TC) Blades:
- The cutting edges have tungsten carbide inserts seamlessly bonded to the stainless steel blades, which stay sharp significantly longer than standard stainless steel scissors
- Identification:
- The scissors are easily identified by their gold-plated finger rings
- Design:
- They are straight-pattern scissors, measuring 6-3/4 inches (17.1 cm) in length, with rounded (blunt) tips and a satin finish to reduce glare
- Construction:
- They are crafted from high-quality, surgical-grade German stainless steel and feature a fully tempered box-lock for precise alignment
- Sterilization:
- The instrument can be sterilized through autoclaving
Benefits
- Superior Performance:
- The precision-ground and honed tungsten carbide blades offer a consistently superior, razor-sharp cutting ability
- Longevity:
- The extreme hardness of the tungsten carbide ensures the cutting edge lasts much longer, requiring sharpening less frequently compared to standard stainless steel scissors
- Cost Savings:
- While the initial cost may be higher, the extended service life and durability represent a considerable long-term cost savings to the clinician
- Reliability:
- The durable construction and passivation process help protect the instrument against corrosion during repeated sterilization and use
- Reduced Hand Fatigue:
- The spring design enables controlled jaw movement which may help reduce hand fatigue during some procedures
