Dental Instruments
SMS Instrument Spencer Stitch Scissors are primarily used for suture removal. These scissors have a small hook shaped tip on one blade that slides under sutures to slightly lift them before cutting for removal. This hook also holds the suture so it does not slip off the blade of the scissors prior to cutting. They are most commonly available in lengths of 90 mm and therefore typically have smaller, more delicate tips that are used for removing smaller sutures. They should not be used for cutting tissue. This product is straight with smooth, blunt/blunt tips and a length of 90 mm.
