Mayo Scissor, 17 cm Straight, TC Gold

HK Medical Instruments 17 cm Straight Mayo Scissor with TC Gold edges combines a direct linear cutting path with tungsten-carbide durability. For vet clinics that cut sutures and fascia throughout the day, the tungsten carbide can reduce downtime for sharpening and keep the instrument performing consistently across procedures.

The 17 cm (6-3/4 inch) length adds reach and leverage over shorter patterns while remaining manageable for routine work. Blunt/blunt tips suit controlled cutting near tissue. As with any precision instrument, inspect blade alignment regularly and follow your facility's processing protocol to protect the carbide edges.

Is the TC Gold straight model worth it over stainless?

If the scissor sees heavy daily use on sutures or fascia, the carbide edges typically justify the premium by staying sharp longer and reducing sharpening cycles.

Can this 17 cm straight TC Gold scissor be used in small patients?

Yes, though a shorter 14.5 cm pattern may offer finer control in very small fields. The 17 cm size is a versatile middle length for most routine veterinary procedures.
