Op-Scissors sh/bl str 16.5cm

Clinical Application

Straight sharp/blunt operating scissors provide controlled cutting when precise incisions or suture trimming are required. The combination of one sharp blade and one blunt blade allows the surgeon to cut tissue or sutures cleanly while protecting underlying structures from unintended laceration. These scissors are commonly used in general surgery, minor procedures, wound and skin closure, outpatient procedures, and routine operating-room tasks where reliable, predictable cutting is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry keeps the cutting plane aligned with the operator's line of sight for precise, reproducible cuts and easy suture management. Ring handles with a precision box lock provide stable tip alignment and good tactile feedback for fine control. The sharp/blunt blade pairing permits atraumatic contact on one side while the sharp edge performs the cut, reducing the risk of puncture or unintended tissue damage in confined or delicate fields. At 16.5 cm overall length, this instrument offers a medium reach suitable for both superficial and slightly deeper work without sacrificing maneuverability.
