Sklar Reeh Stitch Scissors, Ribbon-Style Handle
A compact stitch scissors from Sklar with a ribbon-style handle and a small hook on one blade, used to lift and cut sutures cleanly during stitch removal.
The Sklar Reeh Stitch Scissors are designed specifically for removing sutures, featuring a small hook at the end of one blade that slides under the stitch to lift it away from the skin before the sharp tips make the cut. This hook and cut design reduces the risk of pulling on the wound or catching the skin compared with a plain pointed scissors used for the same task.
The ribbon-style handle gives a comfortable, secure grip for what is typically a repetitive task when multiple stitches need to be removed in sequence during a single visit. With an overall length of 3-3/4 inches, the instrument is compact and easy to manoeuvre in close proximity to the skin. Instruments of this type are used routinely across surgical wards, outpatient clinics and general practice wherever sutures need to be removed following wound closure, making them a common, everyday item in most clinical settings.
