Device type (GMDN): Suture scissors

A hand-held surgical instrument used during surgery to cut suture or ligature material, i.e., to divide lengths or remove excessive/unwanted ends. It comprises two pivoted blades that are usually provided with a finger and thumb ring-handle and which cut with a shearing action (i.e., the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed). It is typically metallic and is available in various designs and sizes; the blades may have different shapes, e.g., they can be curved or straight with a hook-like tip to capture the suture/ligature as it is cut. It is not a dedicated ophthalmic device. This is a reusable device.
