Sklar Buck Ligature Scissors, Straight Blunt Tip
Straight surgical scissors with blunt, smooth blades designed for cutting ligatures cleanly during general and vascular surgical procedures in the operating room.
The Sklar Buck Ligature Scissors are straight surgical scissors used for cutting ligatures during general and vascular procedures. Both blade tips are blunt and finished smooth, a configuration surgeons choose when dividing suture material close to tissue without risking a nick to nearby structures.
At seven inches long, the scissors give the operator a comfortable working length for reaching into a surgical field while keeping good control near the fingertips. Instruments of this type are standard in general surgery, vascular surgery and any procedure where ligatures are placed and later trimmed.
They are typically handled by the surgeon or first assistant during the ligation or closing steps of a case. Sterile processing staff also rely on scissors like this being reprocessed and inspected between uses, since a smooth cutting edge that stays sharp and free of nicks keeps ligature work clean and predictable case after case in busy operating rooms and day surgery units.
