Clinical Application
Angled serrated operating scissors are used to make controlled cutting maneuvers where a straight approach is limited by anatomy or operative access. The angled working tip facilitates cutting and suture trimming in confined or deep surgical fields such as ENT, plastic and reconstructive procedures, minor general surgery, and procedural suites. Serrated blades help maintain purchase on soft tissue and suture material to reduce slippage during delicate cuts.
Design & Configuration
The angled shank geometry directs the blades into the operative plane while keeping the operator's hands clear of the field, improving visualization and reach for lateral or oblique approaches. Serrated cutting edges provide enhanced grip on tissue and sutures, allowing for controlled, precise cuts with minimal repeated repositioning. The Locklin pattern denotes a commonly used angled operating-scissor profile optimized for these tasks.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Operating scissors
- Pattern / model: Locklin
- Configuration: angled, serrated blades
- Length: 16 cm
- Tip / jaw pattern: serrated cutting edges for improved grip
- Typical use: tissue and suture cutting in confined or deep surgical fields
- Reusable construction
Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide durability and corrosion resistance for repeated use. Blades are ground and finished to deliver a precise cutting interface; serrations are integrated into the cutting surfaces to reduce slippage when handling delicate tissues or sutures. The instrument is designed for repeated cleaning and sterilization consistent with reusable surgical instruments.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
