Sklar IUD String Scissors, Curved, Blunt, 10in
A 10 inch curved scissor with blunt tips from Sklar, purpose built to trim IUD strings safely during and after intrauterine device insertion and follow up appointments.
The Sklar IUD String Scissors is a curved scissor measuring 10 inches, finished with blunt tips so the clinician can trim the strings of an intrauterine device to the correct length without risking injury to the surrounding tissue. The curved blade profile gives better access and visibility inside the vaginal canal than a straight scissor would allow, making the final trimming step of an IUD insertion more controlled.
This instrument is used specifically by gynaecologists, family planning nurses and midwives who insert or follow up intrauterine devices as part of routine contraceptive care. Trimming the strings to an appropriate length after placement is a standard part of the insertion procedure and also matters at follow up visits, where a clinician may need to shorten strings that have been left longer than intended.
Its blunt tip design reflects that this scissor is meant for controlled, close work near delicate tissue rather than general cutting, and it should be reserved for this specific task within a gynaecology instrument set.
