Sklarlite Littauer Cutting Forceps, Straight Back
A lightweight Littauer cutting forceps from Sklarlite with a straight back blade, used to cut sutures, wire or other fine material during procedures in hospitals.
The Sklarlite Littauer Cutting Forceps is an instrument built on Sklar's extra light Sklarlite platform, combining a forceps style handle with a cutting blade along a straight back edge, used to cut sutures, ligatures or other fine material directly at the surgical field without needing to switch to a separate scissors.
This dual purpose design speeds up routine tasks such as trimming suture ends after knot tying, letting the surgeon or assistant work more efficiently during closure. Its cutting edge is positioned to give a controlled, close cut without risking damage to surrounding tissue, which matters when working near a fresh suture line or delicate structures.
Manufactured by Sklar, the extra light build reduces hand fatigue for an instrument that may be picked up frequently throughout a procedure. As a reusable surgical instrument it must be cleaned, inspected and sterilised between cases following standard reprocessing protocol, with attention to the cutting edge to preserve its performance over repeated use.
General and specialty surgery units across the UAE and GCC keep this Littauer cutting forceps as a practical suture cutting tool within their instrument trays.
