Surgical Scissors
Scissors are among the most-used instruments in surgery, and every specialty needs its own patterns. Medfort makes surgical scissors for every job, from heavy dissecting scissors to the finest micro scissors. You can choose standard stainless steel, SuperCut edges, or tungsten carbide (TC) inserts for a longer-lasting cut.
Where they are used
Our scissors are used in general, abdominal, vascular, cardiac, plastic, ophthalmic, ENT, gynecological and microsurgery, and for cutting sutures, dressings and tissue throughout the hospital.
Our range
- Operating and dissecting: operating scissors, and Mayo, Mayo-Stille, Mayo-Harrington and Metzenbaum dissecting scissors
- Fine scissors: Iris and Stevens tenotomy scissors
- Vascular and micro: vascular, micro vascular, micro and titanium micro scissors
- Premium edges: SuperEdge SuperCut, Tungsten Carbide UltraCut and TC SuperCut scissors
Material and finish
These instruments are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards. Cutting edges are hardened and hand-honed, and the blades are set so they close smoothly from the joint to the tip. Many patterns also come with SuperCut edges, which have one razor-sharp blade and one micro-serrated blade, or with tungsten carbide (TC) inserts, which stay sharp far longer and are marked with gold handles.
How to choose
Use heavy Mayo scissors for tough tissue such as fascia, and lighter Metzenbaum scissors for delicate dissection. Operating scissors cut sutures and dressings. Choose fine scissors for small, precise cuts, and vascular scissors for vessels. SuperCut and TC scissors cost more but cut better and last longer.
Quality control
Every pair of scissors is test-cut before packing. We check that the blades meet evenly from the joint to the tip, that the cut is clean and smooth along the whole edge, and that the joint is neither loose nor stiff. Hardness is checked after heat treatment, and every pair is passivated to improve corrosion resistance.
Care and sterilization
Clean scissors straight after use and open the blades fully for washing. Dry them well and put a drop of instrument lubricant on the joint. Store them so the cutting edges do not touch heavy instruments. They are suitable for standard steam sterilization. Scissors can be resharpened to extend their working life.

You can order single instruments, mixed quantities or complete sets, and we supply hospitals, clinics, distributors and government tenders.
