What is a MEDICAL SCISSOR?

A medical scissor is an essential device used in the field of health and medical care. It is a pair of scissors specifically designed to be used by healthcare professionals such as doctors, surgeons, nurses, and laboratory technicians. It is therefore an instrument consisting of straight or curved blades with a pointed or blunt end. It is used for cutting objects such as suture threads, dressings, compresses, cotton, or tissues.
Different from ordinary scissors, the medical scissor is designed to perform various medical tasks, ranging from the dissection of tissues during surgical procedures to the removal of sutures, to the cutting of bandages. Made from high-quality materials like stainless steel or titanium, these scissors are durable and corrosion-resistant, allowing them to withstand the frequent sterilization necessary in a medical environment.

The history of the MEDICAL SCISSOR?

The medical scissor has a long and fascinating history. Its story reflects the evolution of medicine itself.
The earliest models of medical scissors can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where cutting instruments were used for embalming rituals and early attempts at surgery. Although rudimentary by today's standards, these early tools laid the groundwork for what would become an essential part of medical instrumentation. It was in the Middle Ages, with the development of the first medical institutions and schools of surgery, that medical scissors truly began to evolve, with designs tailored to specific tasks, such as dissecting tissues or cutting bandages.
The modern era, with the advent of stainless steel in the early 20th century, saw a rapid and impressive evolution of medical scissors. They became more durable and corrosion-resistant. Advances in ergonomics made these tools more comfortable to use over long periods, while specialized designs were developed for specific procedures, thus improving precision and efficiency. Today, medical scissors have evolved to incorporate cutting-edge technologies. Electric and ultrasonic scissors are used for complex surgical procedures, offering unmatched precision and control. Despite these innovations, the fundamental goal of medical scissors remains the same: to provide a reliable and effective tool to help healthcare professionals deliver the highest quality of care.

What are the major types of medical scissors?

1 – Iridectomy Scissors : Measuring about ten centimeters, an iridectomy scissor is typically made of stainless steel and equipped with straight blades. Its cleaning, before or after sterilization, can be performed either by machine or by hand using an appropriate cleaning product. The use of a metallic brush or a sponge is to be absolutely avoided for this type of scissor. Its sterilization can be done via a dry heat sterilizer or an autoclave.

2 – Jesco Scissors : Jesco scissors are ideal for cutting thick materials such as tissues, leather, small casts, resin, etc. It is equipped with two stainless steel blades with different shapes: one is serrated and slightly curved at the end, the other is straight and shorter with a rounded end. Providing a good grip during cutting, this device is widely used in mobile emergency and resuscitation services.

3- Mayo Scissors : This type of device is mainly used in the context of minor care. It differs from other medical scissors by its tip which facilitates the passage of the blade under the dressing or bandage, thus allowing the caregiver to have a better grip during cutting. It is ideal for cutting dressings and compresses. To avoid injuring the patient, the professional must ensure that the rounded part is always the one in contact with the skin. Also, it is essential to always keep it disinfected and clean after each use. It can be cleaned manually or by machine with an appropriate detergent that is specially designed for stainless steel materials. Before and after each use, it should be washed before autoclaving.

4- Dolphin Scissors : This type distinguishes itself from other models by having two tips, one pointed and the other rounded. Given that it is a multiple-use medical device, it is the responsibility of the professional using it to clean and disinfect it before and after each use to prevent any cross-contamination to patients. The same goes for first-time use, it should be thoroughly cleaned with a suitable detergent designed for this purpose. Of course, it is important to note that this type of device requires dry wiping after each cleaning.

How to choose the right MEDICAL SCISSORS?

Choosing the right medical scissors is a critical decision for any health professional. With the vast number of medical scissors models available in the medical device market today and the multitude of options available, it can be challenging to determine the best choice for your specific needs. But by considering the key factors below, you will be able to make an informed choice that will enhance your efficiency and comfort in performing your medical duties:

  1. Type of Scissors
    Today, there are different types of medical scissors, each designed for a specific use. Dissecting scissors are used for cutting and separating tissues, suture scissors for removing stitches, and bandage scissors for cutting bandages and other medical materials. Therefore, you need to choose the type of scissors that best suits your regular tasks.
  2. Material
    Medical scissors are typically made of stainless steel or titanium. Stainless steel is durable and resistant to corrosion, while titanium is lighter and better at resisting wear. The choice of material depends on your personal preferences and requirements for durability and ease of maintenance.
  3. Size and Shape
    Medical scissors are available in different sizes and shapes. Shorter scissors are typically used for precise tasks, while longer scissors are useful for cutting through large areas of tissue. The scissors can be straight or curved, depending on the nature of the work to be done.
  4. Blade Finish
    The blades of medical scissors can be smooth or serrated. Smooth blades offer a clean, precise cut, while serrated blades are useful for cutting through thick or hard tissues.
  5. Comfort and Ergonomics
    A medical scissor should be comfortable to hold and use, especially if you use it frequently or for extended periods. Look for scissors with good ergonomics to reduce hand fatigue and improve control.
  6. Brand and Manufacturer
    It may be helpful to choose a brand or manufacturer known for quality to ensure the durability of your scissors. Do your research to make sure the brand is known for its reliability and adherence to medical standards.
