A Sure Cut scissor, easily identifiable by it's black rings, has one serrated blade and one bevel honed blade. This design allows for a smooth, clean cut and the blade keeps a sharp edge longer than other scissor designs. Sure Cut scissors are available in a variety of patterns including Mayo, Metzenbaum, and Micro Dissecting. Volmed also offers Sure Cut scissors with a carbide insert. The carbide insert will allow the blade to stay sharper a lot longer. The sharpest scissor that will keep its edge the longest is a Sure Cut scissor with a carbide insert.WARNING: Sure Cut scissors must not be used for cutting wire, thread, or other hard objects. They should also not be used for cutting hair, fur, or tendons as this may irreversibly damage the blades.
In addition to regular scissor designs Volmed also supplies scissors with tungsten carbide blades or with the Sure Cut design. The handle colors differentiate these special scissors from other scissors. In the past only a gold coating was used. Currently either gold or black is used. A black ring handle identifies that scissor as a Sure Cut scissor. This is a special scissor design that incorporates a razor edge on one blade and a serrated blade on the other. This design makes it easy to cut soft tissue without crushing. A Sure-cut scissor creates a sharp, clean, smooth cut. A scissor with two gold ring handles has tungsten carbide inserts on the blade edge. Carbide is a very hard metal that will maintain a sharp edge much longer than stainless steel. It is preferred for use in cutting cartilage and fur. Volmed offers carbide instruments in forceps and needle holders as well. These instruments also are identified by gold handles.
Tungsten Carbide is up to five times harder than stainless steel. Scissors blades with TC inserts on the cutting edges last much longer than stainless steel blades. Tungsten Carbide is good for cutting cartilage or for many repeated cuts such as in necropsy studies. Yousurg offers many styles of Tungsten Carbide scissors. Tungsten Carbide inserts are also available in needle holders. Please consult our catalog for the pattern that will fit your needs.
The suffix "SC" refers to the "Sure Cut" scissor pattern. This pattern provides one serrated blade and one bevel honed blade that give a smooth, clean cut while keeping a sharp edge. Learn more by reading the "Sure Cut" FAQ and Tech Notes documents.
Yousurg Surgical supplies several different stitch scissors for use in suturing. Stitch scissors usually have a notch that holds the suture firmly in the jaws while it is cut. Without the notch, the relatively hard suture material would tend to be forced out of the jaws as they are closed. For fine suture work, Volmed supplies the Spencer Stitch Scissor (very delicate, 3 1/2" length). Others are slightly larger and less delicate (4 1/2" and 5 1/2" respectively). Also Wire Cutting Stitch Scissors are even more rugged.
Perma-Set scissors have a unique design that enables them to self sharpen as they are used. The scissor hinge is designed to provide spring tension on the two blades so, as they cut material, one blade presses against the other, sharpening the surface as they close.
