Surgical Scissors Angled 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Access for Precise Suture Cutting

O'Brien suture scissors are 4 3/4-inch surgical scissors designed for cutting sutures during procedural work. Their angled-to-the-side profile helps position the tapered, sharp tips where access and visibility matter, while the ring handle supports familiar instrument control. The compact length can be useful when working within confined operative fields or when a measured, close approach is preferred. Suitable for general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery workflows, this specialty-neutral instrument supports routine suture-cutting tasks without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument hand. Its focused design helps keep suture management efficient during closure, revision, and related procedural steps.

Use Cases

• Cutting sutures during general surgery procedures and closure-related tasks.
• Managing sutures in neurosurgical operative workflows where controlled access and clear instrument positioning are important.
• Supporting suture cutting in plastic surgery procedures, including detailed closure and revision work.
• Using the angled profile to approach sutures from the side when a straight instrument position is less convenient.
• Applying the sharp tapered tips for focused engagement of individual sutures while maintaining ring-handle control.

Care & Handling

• Clean the scissors promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled blades, tapered sharp tips, pivot, and ring handle for residue, damage, alignment, or impaired movement before reuse.
• Handle the sharp tips carefully and protect the blades from contact with other instruments during transport and storage.
• Store the scissors in a clean, dry setting with the blades protected and positioned to reduce the risk of damage.
