Description
Suture Scissors are precision surgical instruments used in dentistry and oral surgery to cut sutures cleanly and safely after wound closure. Designed with fine, sharp blades and ergonomic finger rings, these scissors allow controlled trimming without disturbing the healing tissue. They often feature a blunt tip or angled design to prevent accidental injury while working in confined intraoral areas. Durable and easy to sterilize, suture scissors are essential for post-surgical procedures and soft tissue management.

• Sharp, narrow blades for precise suture cutting
• Blunt or angled tip to protect underlying tissue

Common applications:
• Trimming sutures after placing stitches in extraction sites or flap surgeries
