Surgical scissors

Surgical scissors are scissors that are specially designed as surgical instruments, typically used for delicate cutting of biological tissues, sutures, dressings and other items such as meshes and drains, as well as for use as a blunt dissection tool. Surgical scissors are usually made of surgical stainless steel, and some have tungsten carbide inserts along their blades, the hardness of which allows manufacturers to create sharper and more durable edges.
