Sklarlite Littauer Suture Scissors, 5-1/2 Inch
A lightweight 5-1/2 inch Littauer, or Spencer, suture scissors from Sklarlite, used to cut suture material cleanly during and after surgical closure in hospitals and clinics.
The Sklarlite Littauer Suture Scissors, also known by the alternate name Spencer or Littauer stitch scissors, is a 5-1/2 inch instrument built on Sklar's extra light Sklarlite platform and designed specifically for cutting suture material rather than general tissue dissection. Its shaped blade tip allows the user to hook and cut a single suture strand cleanly at skin level without risking damage to the surrounding wound, a task performed repeatedly during both intraoperative closure and postoperative suture removal appointments.
Because this instrument is used so frequently, both in theatre and in outpatient dressing or suture removal clinics, the extra light Sklarlite build helps reduce hand fatigue for staff performing many suture removals across a busy clinic list. Manufactured by Sklar, it is designed for repeated clinical use and must be cleaned, inspected and sterilised between patients following standard infection control protocol, with the cutting edge checked periodically to maintain sharpness.
Hospitals, day surgery units and outpatient clinics across the UAE and GCC commonly stock this Littauer suture scissors as a standard suture removal instrument.
