Westcott Surgical Scissors Curved 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Access for Detailed Stitch-Cutting Tasks

Westcott stitch scissors are precision scissors designed for cutting suture material and handling fine stitch-related tasks. This 4 3/4-inch instrument combines slightly curved 21.0 mm blades with sharp tips to support controlled access and focused cutting in general surgery, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery workflows. The flat handle offers a straightforward grip profile for routine instrument handling, while the compact blade length helps keep work close to the operative field. Its specialty-neutral design makes it suitable for teams seeking a dedicated stitch-scissors format that supports careful, task-focused use without adding unnecessary bulk.

Use Cases

• Cutting sutures during general surgery workflows where a dedicated stitch-scissors format is appropriate.
• Supporting fine stitch-cutting tasks in ophthalmic procedures and other work requiring close instrument positioning.
• Handling suture-related tasks in plastic surgery, where the slightly curved blades can support access around the working area.
• Using the sharp tips for focused engagement with stitch material during controlled cutting.
• Selecting a compact scissors profile for routine instrument-table organization and procedure-specific handling.
