Kelly Scissors, Straight

Kelly scissors are a general purpose surgical scissor used across a wide range of procedures for cutting tissue, sutures and other surgical materials. This straight bladed version gives a direct, controlled cutting line, which surgeons and assistants use for everyday tasks in the operating room where a curved blade is not required.

Because general cutting tasks come up constantly during surgery, Kelly scissors are a staple on nearly every instrument tray, from general and gynecological surgery to smaller outpatient procedures. Their straightforward blade design makes them easy to handle and clean, and as a reusable stainless steel instrument they are sterilized between uses along with the rest of the surgical set.

Surgical teams typically keep several pairs available since scissors see heavy use during a single case, whether cutting sutures at the end of a procedure or trimming tissue during dissection. Their simple, dependable design has kept them a standard fixture in operating theatres for general surgical work.
