Ligature Scissors: Precision Instruments for Removing Surgical Sutures

Ligature scissors are indispensable tools in surgical practice, particularly for removing sutures after wound healing is complete. They are characterized by their specialized design, which allows surgeons to cut sutures precisely and gently without damaging surrounding tissue. A distinctive feature of many ligature scissors is the sickle-shaped blade on one of the scissor arms. This anatomically shaped blade facilitates the insertion of the scissors beneath the suture material and enables controlled cutting of the knot.

Our product range includes a wide variety of ligature scissors, each designed for specific applications and surgical requirements. Available models include:

  • Buck Ligature Scissors: Ideal for general surgical procedures, known for their robust construction and precise cutting performance.

  • Eiselberg Ligature Scissors: Particularly suited for fine and minimally invasive procedures, thanks to their slim and delicate design.

  • Heath Ligature Scissors: Frequently used in orthopedics and traumatology, they offer excellent control when removing thicker sutures.

  • Littauer Ligature Scissors: Specialized for cutting wire sutures or other robust suture materials, often used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

  • Northbent (Shortbent) Ligature Scissors: With their short, angled blade, they are perfect for hard-to-reach areas.

  • Schoemaker-Loth Ligature Scissors: Exceptionally precise and gentle, ideal for plastic surgery procedures.

Each of these scissors is made from high-quality materials such as stainless surgical steel or titanium, ensuring durability, sterilizability, and corrosion resistance. The ergonomically designed handles provide comfortable handling and reduce surgeon fatigue during lengthy procedures.

Ligature scissors are used not only in general surgery but also in specialized fields such as plastic surgery, orthopedics, and dentistry. Their precise cutting ability and application-specific designs make them an essential tool for the safe and efficient removal of suture material.
