About Suture Scissors
These suture removal scissors have a hook-shaped notch in one blade. That notch is what separates a removal instrument from the smooth-blade cutting scissors on the same tray. Each unit is a single reusable instrument in AISI 420 stainless steel, for dental and clinical practices and the distributors who supply them.
What the hook adds
The hooked notch helps engage suture material at the working end. It distinguishes the removal pattern from scissors with smooth blade tips. That gives a dedicated removal scissors its own place in an instrument set, separate from general tissue and cutting scissors. Buyers also call this design stitch-removal scissors or hooked suture scissors.
Removal scissors or tissue scissors?
Both instruments cut, but each is shaped for its own job. Tissue scissors are selected by their blade and tip configuration for cutting soft tissue. The notch on a removal scissors is there to take hold of the suture at the working end. Stock them as separate line items in trays and catalogues, so clinicians reach for the working end they expect. Smooth-blade tissue and cutting patterns are in our dental scissors range.
