S-Shaped Sims-Siebold Gynecological Scissors

Description

S-Shaped Sims-Siebold Gynecological Scissors

Sims-Siebold scissors have an S-shaped curve and measure about 23 cm. Gynecologists use this uterine pattern where a straight path will not work.

The S-shaped curve

The double bend carries the blades around one corner and back toward the target. So the tips reach tissue that sits behind another structure. Also, the hand stays off to the side of the line of sight.

Uterine work

Surgeons use the pattern for cutting uterine and cervical tissue. Therefore it often joins vaginal surgery sets. Meanwhile, its shape suits angled access through a speculum.

Length

The site lists 23 to 24 cm for this pair. Then it reaches comfortably through a vaginal approach, even with a speculum in place. Plus, it lines up with other 23 cm gynecology scissors on the tray.

S-shaped or straight

Straight Sims scissors cut in a direct line. By contrast, Sims-Siebold scissors bend the path of the blades. So choose the S shape when access runs around an obstacle.

Cleaning Sims-Siebold scissors

S-shaped blades snag easily, so store them in a rack rather than loose in a basket. Then clean the inner faces of each curve with a narrow brush. Finally, dry them and look for any twist in the blades.
