Laschal - Surgical & Restorative Instruments

Combination Scissors/Forceps

Problem

A problem exists when trying to remove sutures without an assistant. When a suture is removed by conventional means, two instruments and two hands are required. The non-dominant uses forceps to elevate the tag above the suture to expose the loop. The dominant hand inserts scissors underneath the suture to make the cut. The suture is then removed with the forceps. Since both hands are occupied, there is no way to stabalise a patient and steady the operating hand.

Solution

Combination Scissors/Forceps

Unique Combination Scissors/Forceps cut, clamp and remove sutures with one instrument and one hand.

  • By keeping the scissors closed during removal, an integrated forcep on the upper blade grips the suture tag to remove it without an additional instrument or hand.
  • Reduces the risk of accidental cutting or pulling of the wound.
  • Traditional Littauer blade fixates and cuts suture without slippage.
