Sklar's Surgi-OR TC wire cutting scissors feature short shanks and very short jaws which are particularly useful for cutting wire sutures or wire mesh. The short jaws and small groove on each blade hold the wire and prevent it from slipping as pressure is applied for cutting. Hand-crafted in Pakistan, Surgi-OR mid-grade instruments are forged from the highest quality Japanese steel and provide reliable instrumentation for the operating room and other surgical centers. Surgi-OR instruments are a cost-effective line of instruments that must meet Sklar's quality standards. Sklar permanently bonds tungsten carbide inserts to the instrument, which maximizes control and precision. TC instruments are identified by gold handles.
