Mayo-Lexer Scissors With Tungsten Carbide

Description

Mayo-Lexer Scissors With Tungsten Carbide

These Mayo-Lexer tungsten carbide scissors combine a curved dissecting blade with carbide inserts. They measure 16 cm.

Carbide inserts

The inserts are harder than plain steel. So the edge lasts longer between sharpenings.

Curved blades

The curve follows tissue planes. Also, it keeps the tips in view.

A 16 cm length

The length suits general dissection. Therefore the pair fits most trays.

Why carbide

Carbide scissors cost more at the start. However, they need sharpening less often. So many teams choose carbide for the pairs they use most. Then plain steel covers occasional use. In addition, the curved blades follow tissue planes during dissection. So the pair suits general and plastic surgery trays. If your team already uses Lexer or Mayo patterns, this pair will feel familiar. Also, the curved blades suit most dissection steps. Then the carbide inserts save on sharpening over time.

Cleaning Mayo-Lexer tungsten carbide scissors

Rinse the blades soon after use. Next, brush the joint and dry fully. Then store the scissors closed, since carbide edges chip if knocked.
