The length is typically measured from the tip of the blades to the end of the handles when the scissors are fully extended.Overall, the description of ""Surgical Scissors straight Sharp/Sharp 15cm"" indicates a specific type of surgical scissors with straight blades and sharp cutting edges that are 15cm in length."
A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to cut/dissect a variety of tissues during open surgery and having no dedication to a specific anatomy or clinical use; it might in addition be intended for cutting materials associated with surgery (e.g., sutures). It is comprised of two pivoted shearing blades with handles, whereby the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed; some types may have blades that cross over to expose a sharp edge for slicing tissue like a scalpel. It is typically made of metal and is available in various designs and sizes, and some types can have carbide inserts along the cutting edges. This is a single-use device.
