These surgical scissors are SuperCut and have tungsten carbide inserts. Typically, these scissors have one gold handle and one black handle. SuperCut scissors have one blade that is micro serrated to gently grasp the tissue and one edge that is honed razor sharp for a clean cut.
SuperCut scissors reduce tissue trauma, offer you a more controlled cutting motion, and give you superior cutting ability. These Mayo Scissors also have tungsten carbide inserts in the blades. Tungsten carbide (TC) is extremely hard and durable, giving you a sharper edge and blades that stay sharp longer. You get superior cutting ability and the scissors have a longer life, saving you time and money. The inserts help prevent blade deformation, resisting the wear and tear of standard scissors. The added sharpness also minimizes tissue trauma, giving you precise, clean cuts that heal faster. Tungsten carbide is also resistant to corrosion.
These surgical scissors are available in surgical grade stainless steel or premium German steel. Both metals are suitable for sterilization by autoclaving or chemically. Always clean your surgical instruments promptly after use. Cleaning helps to minimize staining and preserve the life of your fine surgical instruments.
