Surgical Green Spencer Stitch Scissors, also known as Littauer Stitch Scissors, are reusable surgical scissors designed for controlled suture cutting and removal. A specialised hook is designed to slide beneath a suture, position it against the cutting edge, and support controlled division by appropriately trained healthcare professionals.
Short blades provide a compact working profile for focused cutting. The bevelled hook tip directs the engaged suture toward the cutting area, while bevelled blades concentrate applied force at the edge. Suitability depends on suture type, access, visibility, instrument condition, and professional technique.
The hook-shaped tip is designed to pass beneath an accessible suture and retain it as the scissors close. This geometry supports deliberate positioning before cutting and helps distinguish the instrument from general-purpose surgical scissors.
Short blades support controlled movement near the intended cutting site. Their bevelled design is intended to transmit closing force toward a fine cutting edge for efficient suture division when the instrument is correctly selected, maintained, and used.
Smooth outer edges are designed to facilitate controlled movement through the working area while the hook and cutting edge remain directed toward the selected suture. Appropriate visibility and technique remain essential.
Ergonomic ring handles provide a familiar grip for opening, closing, and directional control. The lightweight, streamlined profile is designed to support comfortable handling during detailed suture-removal tasks.
A rivet screw joint connects the two scissor halves, while the non-ratcheted design permits direct opening and closing without a locking mechanism. Smooth operation depends on routine inspection, correct maintenance, and validated reprocessing.
Spencer Stitch Scissors are manufactured from premium-quality stainless steel with a satin finish designed to reduce reflective glare. The supplied product information states that the instrument can be sterilised and reused.
