General-purpose surgical scissors, single-use

Definition

A non-dedicated hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to cut a variety of tissues during open surgery; it is not dedicated to surgery at a specific anatomy/body orifice nor does it have a single clinical intended use. It might in addition be intended for cutting sutures or other materials associated with surgery. It is comprised of two pivoted shearing blades with finger and thumb ring-handles whereby the shearing action is directly adjacent to the handles (i.e., not alligator or endoscopic design). It is made of metal and available in a variety of blade designs; the blades may have carbide inserts along the cutting edges. This is a single-use device.
