Sims Uterine Scissors With Tungsten Carbide

Description

Sims Uterine Scissors With Tungsten Carbide

These Sims scissors have tungsten carbide edges and a 23 cm length. You can order them straight or curved for uterine and gynecologic work.

A uterine scissor pattern

Surgeons use the Sims pattern for cutting uterine and cervical tissue. So many gynecology sets carry a pair. Also, the 23 cm length reaches through a vaginal approach and still suits open work.

Straight or curved

Straight blades give a direct line of cut. Meanwhile, curved blades follow rounded tissue and keep the tips in view. Therefore the choice depends on the step and the surgeon.

Why carbide

Carbide inserts outlast plain steel edges. Then the scissors keep cutting cleanly for longer between sharpenings. Plus, the harder edge copes well with firm cervical tissue.

Carbide or stainless Sims

We also stock a stainless Sims pattern with a choice of tips. However, the Sims scissors with tungsten carbide come in one 23 cm length. So choose carbide for edge life and stainless for tip options.

Cleaning Sims scissors tungsten carbide

Rinse the joint first, because that area traps the most debris. Then open and close the scissors under running water to clear it. Also, store them apart from heavier instruments so the carbide does not chip.
