Littauer Surgical Scissors Straight 14.0 cm (5.5)

Delicate, Controlled Cutting for Suture Management

Littauer suture scissors are designed for cutting and managing sutures in a controlled, practical format. Measuring 5 1/2 inches, this model combines straight blades with a notched bottom blade to support focused suture engagement, while the ring handle provides a familiar grip for routine instrument handling. Its delicate weight class suits workflows where measured, precise manipulation is valued over heavier construction. Appropriate for general surgery and plastic surgery applications, the scissors offer a straightforward option for suture-focused tasks during procedures, wound care, and instrument-assisted follow-up work.

Use Cases

• Cutting sutures during general surgery workflows with the straight blades positioned for direct access.
• Managing and trimming sutures in plastic surgery settings where controlled instrument handling is important.
• Engaging suture material with the notched bottom blade for a focused cutting approach.
• Using the ring handle for familiar, deliberate manipulation during routine suture-related tasks.
• Supporting instrument setups that call for a 5 1/2-inch delicate scissors format.
