Skylar Instruments 96-2497 Straight Operating Scissors – 3 1/2 in., Sharp/Sharp Tips

The Skylar 96-2497 is a precision-crafted surgical instrument designed for delicate tissue dissection and fine suture removal. These 3.5-inch (8.9 cm) straight operating scissors are forged from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, offering exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. This specific model features a Sharp/Sharp tip configuration, providing the precision required for minute incisions and detailed laboratory work. The extra-fine blades are ground to a razor-sharp edge, ensuring clean, effortless cuts with minimal tissue trauma. Supplied individually sealed to maintain instrument integrity until use, these scissors are fully autoclavable and engineered to meet the demanding standards of clinical surgical suites, research laboratories, and veterinary practices.

Technical Performance and Design

• Surgical Stainless Steel: Forged from high-carbon stainless steel to maintain edge sharpness through heavy use and to resist pitting during autoclave and chemical sterilization.

• Sharp/Sharp (S/S) Tips: Both blade tips are finely pointed, allowing the user to perform precise "snip" incisions and access tight anatomical or experimental spaces with ease.

• Extra-Fine Geometry: The compact 3.5-inch frame is balanced for maximum tactile feedback, giving the user superior control during micro-dissection or delicate material trimming.

• Precision Riveted Joint: Features a smooth, hand-tuned screw joint that ensures consistent blade tension and prevents "play" or misalignment during the cutting stroke.
