Available in various shapes, sizes, and blade types, these scissors are crafted to cater to specific surgical needs. Their versatility and sharpness make them indispensable in virtually all surgical disciplines, from general surgeries to highly specialized procedures.

They come in straight-blade versions for cutting sutures and curved-blade versions for precise dissection of deeper tissues. 2.
