TC SuperCut Scissors
TC SuperCut scissors combine two features: tungsten carbide inserts that stay sharp for longer, and a fine SuperCut edge that cuts tissue cleanly with little crushing. Medfort makes TC SuperCut operating, Mayo, Mayo-Stille and Metzenbaum scissors (codes SI-01010101 to SI-01010132).
Where they are used
They are used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, general and vascular surgery, gynecology and any procedure where a clean, lasting cut matters.
Our range
- TC SuperCut operating scissors: straight and curved
- TC SuperCut Mayo and Mayo-Stille scissors
- TC SuperCut Metzenbaum scissors: several lengths
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
Choose TC SuperCut for scissors used every day on delicate tissue, where you want both the clean SuperCut edge and the long life of tungsten carbide. They usually have gold and black handles for easy identification. Use separate suture scissors to protect the fine edge.
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.
Sharpening and repair
Even the best scissors lose their edge over time, and a blunt scissor tears tissue instead of cutting it. We can resharpen, realign and recondition Medfort scissors to restore a clean, smooth cut. Keeping a spare pair of your most-used patterns means one can be sent for sharpening while the other stays in use.
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.
Ordering and custom sizes
You can order single instruments, mixed quantities or complete sets, and we supply hospitals, clinics, distributors and government tenders. If you need a pattern, length or size that is not listed, send us a drawing, a sample or a catalogue reference and we will quote for it. We also offer OEM and private label manufacturing, with your logo laser-etched on the instrument and your own packaging. Please contact us for prices, delivery times and shipping to your country.
