SMS instrument Ragnell Scissors, also known as Kilner/Ragnell scissors, are finger ring scissors that feature micro-serrations on one blade to reduce trauma when cutting both delicate and course tissue. These serrations assist in securely holding the tissue during cutting and minimizes tissue from slipping so the most accurate and clean cuts can be made. The long shanks and short jaws of these scissors allow the user greater control with less effort during dissection. This combined with flat blades and blunt tips often make Ragnell scissors the dissection instrument of choice during longer procedures. This product has straight shanks with curved jaws. SMS scissors are identified by a single gold coated finger ring on the handle of the serrated blade.
Tungsten Carbide known as TC is up to five times harder than stainless steel.Scissors blades with TC inserts on the cutting edges last much longer than stainless steel blades. Tungsten Carbide is good for cutting cartilage or for many repeated cuts such as in necropsy studies.
Tungsten Carbide Scissors provide an exceptionally hard and durable cutting edge designed to stay sharp for a significantly longer period of time than standard scissors. We make sure the permanent bonding of the tungsten carbide inserts to the blade of the scissors which maximizes control and precision as well.
Tungsten Carbide Material Properties:
Tungsten carbide is among the hardest materials known and is sometimes referred to as “man-made diamond.” The primary advantage of tungsten carbide is its hardness which makes it very resistant to wear and corrosion. To obtain its unique hardness, the unhardened tungsten carbide must be heat treated or “sintered” at 1454° C to 3200° C. Tungsten carbide inserts are used in surgical instruments to enhance their performance and longevity. These inserts are micro bonded to the working end of the device to provide years of increased performance.
