Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 6.75-inch compare to the 5.5-inch Mayo scissors (SKU 5610)?
The 6.75-inch (SKU 5611) provides additional reach for deeper tissue access and procedures where a longer working length is preferred. The 5.5-inch (SKU 5610) is the standard size for general surgical use. Both are straight blade, stainless steel instruments with the same heavy-duty cutting design.

What is the difference between Mayo scissors and operating scissors?

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.

Are these autoclavable?
Yes. Stainless steel surgical scissors are compatible with standard autoclave sterilization. Follow your facility's sterilization protocols and inspect the instrument for wear or blade damage before each use.

Are these reusable?
