Sklar Gradle Stitch Scissors, 3-3/4 Inch

The Sklar Gradle Stitch Scissors is a compact 3-3/4 inch instrument designed for trimming sutures with precision, particularly in ophthalmic and other fine surgical settings where the margin for error around delicate tissue is small. Its small size and fine tip allow the surgeon to trim a suture close to the knot without disturbing nearby structures, which matters in eye surgery and other procedures where even minor tissue trauma can affect the outcome.

This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for this pattern, distinct from the broader Gradle scissors line which also includes a straight sharp ribbon handle version in multiple sizes. Ophthalmic surgeons, surgical assistants and nurses use fine stitch scissors like this whenever a suture placed during eye or other microsurgery needs to be trimmed, and the instrument is intended for repeated use with standard sterilization between procedures as part of a dedicated ophthalmic instrument set.
