Description
Littauer Scissors, 5 1/2 in (14 cm) stainless steel surgical scissors designed to lift sutures for easier cutting and removal. The instrument features slender, straight blades with a blunt, suture-lifting tip that slips under suture loops without excessive tissue contact. The opposite blade provides a clean cut once the suture is elevated, reducing the force required during removal. Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the blades have a satin finish to minimize glare in bright clinical environments. Overall length is 5.5 inches, with ring handles that offer precise grip and control for both single-handed and two-handed technique depending on the procedure. The design facilitates maneuverability in tight spaces, such as dermatology or minor surgical settings, where careful suture handling is essential. This instrument is intended for use in wound closure management, suture removal, and other light-assisted procedures that require lifting sutures prior to cutting. It is compatible with standard sterile instrument trays and packs and is suitable for typical suture materials encountered in routine clinical practice.
