Understanding Surgical Scissors
Surgical scissors are precision instruments that are used by medical professionals for a wide range of surgical procedures. They are designed to make precise incisions, cut through tissues, and provide effective hemostasis. Surgical scissors come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, allowing healthcare providers to choose the right instrument for each specific task.
Types of Surgical Scissors

Mayo dissecting scissors, also known as straight scissors, are one of the most commonly used types of surgical scissors. These scissors feature straight blades with blunt or pointed tips and are ideal for cutting through tough tissues, sutures, and dressings.
II. Metzenbaum Scissors
Metzenbaum scissors are curved scissors that are specifically designed for delicate tissue dissection. They have a longer handle and shorter blades, allowing for enhanced maneuverability and precise cutting in hard-to-reach areas.
III. Iris Scissors
Iris scissors are small, fine-tipped scissors commonly used in ophthalmic surgeries. They have sharp, delicate blades that enable precise cutting of delicate tissue like the iris or cornea.
IV. Operating Scissors
Operating scissors, also known as surgical scissors, are versatile instruments used during various surgical procedures. They come in different sizes and blade designs, including straight, curved, or angled blades. Operating scissors can be used for cutting sutures, dressings, or other tough tissues.
