Sklar Schuknecht Wire Cutting Scissors, 4 In
A straight, saw edged 4 inch scissors designed to cut fine surgical wire, used mainly in ear, nose and throat procedures requiring precise wire work.
The Sklar Schuknecht Wire Cutting Scissors is a small, precision instrument made to cut fine gauge wire during otologic and other delicate surgical procedures. Its blades carry a saw edge that grips the wire as the jaws close, preventing it from sliding away under the blade tips the way a smooth edged scissors might.
At four inches overall and with a straight blade, it is sized for close, controlled work within a small surgical field such as the middle ear. Instruments of this type are used by ENT surgeons in otology and neurotology procedures where fine wire, such as that used in ossicular reconstruction, needs to be trimmed accurately.
It is a reusable stainless steel instrument that goes through the same cleaning, inspection and sterilization cycle as the rest of an ENT instrument set. Facilities running ear surgery programmes typically keep a dedicated wire cutting scissors like this one separate from general tissue scissors to protect the cutting edge.
