Sklarlite Shortbent Suture Scissors, 3-1/2 Inch
A small, lightweight 3-1/2 inch shortbent suture scissors from Sklarlite with an angled blade, used to cut sutures close to the skin surface in hospitals.
The Sklarlite Shortbent Suture Scissors is a compact 3-1/2 inch instrument built on Sklar's extra light Sklarlite platform, featuring a shortbent, or angled, blade design that allows the tip to be placed flat against the skin to cut a suture close to the knot without the handle obstructing the view or catching on the surrounding wound.
This angled approach is particularly useful during outpatient suture removal appointments or when trimming knots at the end of intraoperative closure, where a straight scissors could be awkward to position at the correct angle. Its small size gives the clinician fine control when working close to a healing incision.
The extra light Sklarlite build is well suited to this frequently repeated task, reducing hand fatigue for clinicians performing multiple suture removals across a clinic session. Manufactured by Sklar, it is designed for repeated clinical use and must be cleaned, inspected and sterilised between patients following standard infection control protocol.
Hospitals, day surgery units and outpatient clinics across the UAE commonly stock this shortbent suture scissors for suture removal work.
