Micropoint Surgical Scissors

Description

Micropoint Surgical Scissors

When a suture tail sits deep in the vestibule, standard scissors feel clumsy. These micropoint surgical scissors bring the cutting tips down to a fine point for those tight spots. Intrace USA, an Atlanta distributor, lists two versions on this page: Curved and Flexible Blade.

The Curved Version

A curve lets the blades follow the arch and the fingers rest clear of the operator view. So the operator can snip a suture on the lingual or distal side without twisting the wrist. Also, the curve helps when trimming a tag of tissue along a flap margin, because the tips sit flat against the surface.

The Flexible Blade Version

The second option has a blade described in the catalogue listing as flexible. Beyond that label, no extra specification is given, so look closely at the product photos. Some clinicians prefer a blade with a little give for delicate soft tissue, while others want a stiff curve. Therefore, try to match the version to how you cut.

Choosing Between the Two

For routine suture removal in posterior areas, many offices pick the Curved scissors first. On the other hand, a surgeon doing fine periodontal or implant soft tissue work may want the Flexible Blade version as well. Because both are micro patterns, neither suits heavy gauze or thick material.

Inspection and Our Three Year Promise

Our Atlanta staff in the United States look over each pair of micro scissors for a clean cut before dispatch. The scissor joint and edges are guaranteed for three years against manufacturing defects. Since both versions ship unsterilized, process them through your cleaning and autoclave routine first, with the tips kept open.

Stainless steel for these blades follows the ASTM F899 surgical steel standard. Discover the full periodontal and restorative instruments collection, and add the Micro Surgery Instrument tweezer to hold sutures while you cut. Our frequently asked questions cover ordering and returns.
