A suture scissors in dentistry and surgical procedures is a specialized tool used by dental health professionals and surgeons to perform sutures and cut surgical threads during dental and surgical procedures. These scissors are specifically designed to provide precision and control when cutting suture threads, ensuring sutures are performed properly and efficiently. Dental suture scissors typically feature high-quality stainless steel construction to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. They have an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in the professional's hand, allowing for safe and effortless handling during procedures. Additionally, the blades of the scissors are sharpened at the edges to provide a clean and precise cut.
These scissors generally feature a blunt, curved tip design, making it easier to manipulate and access hard-to-reach areas in the oral cavity. The curved tips also allow for better control when suturing soft tissues around the teeth and gums. Additionally, some dental suture scissors may have additional features, such as teeth on one of the blades to prevent the threads from slipping during cutting, or a blunt, rounded tip to minimize the risk of damaging tissues during the procedure.
