Operating scissors are lighter and designed for general tissue cutting, dissection, and wound care. Mayo scissors are used for heavier-duty cutting tasks where operating scissors would be insufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between straight and curved Mayo scissors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStraight Mayo scissors are used for direct, surface-level cutting where the tissue or suture is easily accessible. Curved Mayo scissors allow the surgeon to follow the natural contour of tissue planes and improve visibility during cutting in deeper or angled anatomical areas.
