About Tissue Scissors
These straight tissue scissors are blunt at both tips and measure 5.5 inches (about 14 cm) overall. They are made from AISI 420 stainless steel, passivated and autoclavable, and supplied as one instrument. If the pair you are replacing or specifying reads straight, blunt/blunt, 5.5 in, this is that configuration.
Straight blades, blunt at both tips
Tip configuration is stated blade by blade. On this pair, both tips are blunt, and the straight blades keep their cutting edges along their length. The other tissue-scissor configuration you will commonly see is sharp/blunt:
- Blunt/blunt (this instrument): both blade tips are blunt.
- Sharp/blunt: one blade ends in a sharp point, the other in a blunt tip.
The two configurations are not interchangeable on a like-for-like replacement, so check the label on the pair you are replacing before you order.
Tissue scissors or suture-removal scissors
Suture-removal scissors are usually built around a hooked blade that slides under and holds the suture as it is cut. This pair is a plain two-blade cutting pattern: straight blades, no hook, and a blunt end on each blade. For a hooked removal instrument, see our suture-removal scissors. Other cutting patterns are listed in our dental scissors range.
AISI 420 steel, passivated
AISI 420 is a hardenable martensitic stainless steel. It is widely used for cutting instruments because it can be brought to a working edge. Passivation treats the finished surface to support the steel's natural corrosion resistance. That matters for scissors that go through repeated cleaning and autoclave cycles. Reprocess them following the instructions supplied with the scissors, within your facility's validated cleaning and sterilization process.
