Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between sharp/blunt and sharp/sharp scissors?
Sharp/blunt scissors have one sharp blade and one blunt-tipped blade. The blunt tip protects underlying tissue or structures from accidental puncture during cutting, making them safer for use near delicate tissue. Sharp/sharp scissors have two sharp blades for maximum cutting precision but carry a higher risk of accidental puncture.

Are these scissors autoclavable?
Yes. The surgical-grade stainless steel construction is autoclavable, allowing repeated sterilization between uses in clinical settings.

What is the overall length of these scissors?
These scissors measure 5.5 inches in overall length, providing a comfortable grip for clinical handling in exam rooms, procedure rooms, and at the bedside.

Are these suitable for ostomy pouch trimming?
Yes. The sharp/blunt tip and straight blade make these scissors well-suited for trimming ostomy pouches and appliances to fit, as well as for general clinical cutting tasks.
