Surgical Scissors 13.0 cm (5.1)

Surgical Scissors, 13.0 cm (5.1 in)

Surgical scissors measuring 13.0 cm (5.1 in) are a compact, precise instrument for cutting sutures, dressings, and delicate tissue in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics. Their shorter length supports controlled handling in confined surgical fields and fine dissection tasks where full-size scissors may feel cumbersome. Designed for repeated sterilization and dependable edge retention, these scissors fit standard instrument trays and sterile processing workflows. Whether you are stocking a new procedure room or replacing worn instruments, this size offers a practical balance of reach and maneuverability for everyday surgical and clinical use.
