Schoemaker Loth Ligature Scissors 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise trimming of ligatures and sutures, this instrument enables surgeons and surgical assistants to cut suture material close to the knot or tissue plane with minimal bulk. Its compact length and fine tips make it suitable for use in confined operative sites where controlled, flush cuts are required—commonly used during vessel ligation, knot tying, and routine suture management in general, vascular, and specialty procedures.

Design & Configuration

The Schoemaker Loth pattern features a short, low-profile blade geometry with an angled working tip that facilitates close, controlled cutting adjacent to tissue. The ring-handle scissors provide familiar tactile feedback and precise finger control for delicate maneuvers. The 13 cm length balances reach and dexterity, allowing access into deeper pockets while retaining the fine hand control needed for trimming ligatures without disturbing the knot or surrounding tissue.
