Standard Operating Scissor 14.5 cm Sharp/Blunt Straight

The Standard Operating Scissor, 14.5 cm sharp/blunt straight is the general purpose cutting scissor found in most surgical packs. The sharp/blunt tip configuration is the reason for its versatility. One blade terminates in a point that will initiate a cut in skin or tissue, while the opposing blade is rounded and may be introduced beneath tissue without puncturing what lies below. The instrument therefore performs both incising and safe undercutting, which a sharp/sharp or blunt/blunt pattern cannot do equally well.

Straight blades give a direct cutting line suited to sutures, dressings and general material. The standard operating 14.5 cm scissor is easily controlled. It is an economical instrument commonly held in numbers rather than singly.

• Sharp/blunt tips combine incising ability with safe undercutting
• Pointed blade initiates a cut, rounded blade protects underlying tissue
• More versatile than sharp/sharp or blunt/blunt configurations
• Straight blades give a direct cutting line for sutures and material
• 14.5 cm length is easily controlled in general theatre use
• Economical specification, commonly held in numbers
