Surgical scissors are available in both straight and curved styles, with various lengths to suit different procedures. Sharp surgical scissors are designed to cut through tougher tissue and are commonly used for dissection. Straight Mayo scissors, often referred to as \u201csuture scissors,\u201d are widely used for cutting sutures. Metzenbaum scissors, or \u201cMetz,\u201d are typically slightly curved and are ideal for fine dissection and cutting delicate tissue. A common mistake is using Metzenbaums to cut sutures, as this can dull the scissors and reduce their effectiveness for dissection. These scissors are made from a special alloy that ensures their cutting edges stay sharp longer and provide superior performance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
