Sklar Titanium Operating Scissors, Straight
A straight 5.5 inch titanium operating scissors used for general tissue and suture cutting throughout a wide range of surgical procedures.
The Sklar Titanium Operating Scissors is a straight, general purpose cutting instrument made from titanium rather than standard stainless steel, giving the surgeon a lighter tool to hold through repeated use over a long case. At five and a half inches, it is a compact, versatile size used for cutting suture material, light tissue or dressing during a range of surgical procedures.
Operating scissors of this kind are among the most frequently used instruments on any surgical tray, called upon throughout general, plastic and specialty surgery for everyday cutting tasks that do not require a more specialised blade shape. Surgeons, surgical assistants and scrub nurses all use this instrument routinely across a full operating list.
The titanium construction also offers good resistance to corrosion over many sterilization cycles, extending the instrument's working life. As a reusable instrument, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between uses.
