LITTAUER Ligature Scissors 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed specifically for precise cutting and removal of sutures and ligatures, these scissors are used across general surgery, minor procedures, wound closure, dermatologic and plastic surgery, and outpatient clinics. The short-blade geometry concentrates cutting action at the tip, allowing clinicians to sever suture material close to the tissue while maintaining tactile control and minimizing accidental tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handled design provides familiar ergonomic control for one-handed cutting and fine positional adjustments. At 14 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and maneuverability—long enough to work in slightly deeper sites yet compact enough for precise control in confined or superficial fields. The short, narrow blades focus cutting force at the tip to improve accuracy when trimming knotted sutures and ligatures close to the wound edge.
