Sklar Harvey Wire Cutting Scissors, Saw Edge
A 5 inch, straight Sklar Harvey wire cutting scissors with a saw edge, used to cut orthopedic or surgical wire during fixation and casting procedures.
The Sklar Harvey Wire Cutting Scissors is a 5 inch straight instrument with a saw edge blade, designed to cut surgical or orthopedic wire that a standard smooth blade scissors would not cleanly divide. The saw edge grips and shears through stiffer wire material with repeated small cutting motions rather than a single smooth stroke, which is better suited to metal wire than to soft tissue or bandage material.
Orthopedic surgeons, surgical assistants and casting technicians use wire cutting instruments like this whenever surgical wire needs to be trimmed to length or removed, such as during fracture fixation, wiring procedures or cast related work. This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Harvey pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilized use as part of an orthopedic or general surgery instrument set, alongside other wire handling tools such as wire cutters and twisters.
