Westcott Surgical Scissors Curved 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Cutting for Suture-Focused Surgical Work

Westcott stitch scissors are designed for trimming and removing sutures where controlled cutting and dependable handling matter. This 5 1/2-inch instrument combines slightly curved 22.0 mm blades with sharp tips to support access around sutures and other fine cutting tasks. The wide, flat handle provides a practical gripping surface for routine instrument control during General Surgery, Ophthalmic, and Plastic Surgery workflows. Its compact blade length helps keep cutting action focused, while the curved profile can support approach and visibility at the working site. Use this specialty scissor as part of a facility-approved instrument set and technique.
