Sims scissors are long, sturdy scissors for gynaecological surgery, reaching into the pelvis with good control.

Design features

• Long, sturdy blades
• Three blade patterns
• Straight blades for open work; curved blades follow tissue planes and keep the tips in view
• Lengths 20 to 23 cm

Typical applications

• Gynaecological and obstetric surgery

Care

Use scissors only on the tissue or material they are designed for; cutting sutures, wire or dressings with dissecting scissors dulls the edges. Process with the blades open and check the joint for smooth action.
