Wire Cutting Scissors

Wire Cutting Scissors

Wire cutting scissors are short, strong scissors with heavy blades, usually with one serrated blade, built to cut surgical wire, fine suture wire and stainless steel sutures. Regular surgical scissors would be damaged by wire, so a dedicated wire cutter protects your other instruments. Grey Medical makes wire cutting scissors in surgical-grade stainless steel as part of our surgical scissors range.
