About this item
Spring scissors are fine surgical instruments for making small, precision cuts. They are 14 cm long, and fit comfortably into your hand. The longer spring scissors may fit more naturally in a larger hand.
- Spring mechanism allows for smooth, precise cutting action, which reduces the risk of tissue damage or trauma
- Choose either straight or curved for the 8 mm blade
The curved surgical scissors are used in ophthalmology to make precise incisions in the cornea or delicate tissues. The curved tip gives greater visibility at the tip of the scissors. The straight blades are more often used in microdissection, microsurgery or plastic surgery.
The spring handled surgical scissors are preferred by left-handed surgeons, because they can be used ambidextrously. This gives the left-handed surgeon a more natural cutting action, which means the surgeon has greater control of the tip and the cutting movement.
These are available in surgical grade stainless steel or premium German steel, both of which can withstand high heat for autoclaving or chemical sterilization. To ensure the longevity or your fine surgical scissors, always clean them thoroughly after every use.
