Welcome to the tag category page for Surgical suture!
Mayo scissors are a type of surgical scissors used for cutting thick tissues like those found in the uterus, muscles, breast, and foot. They can be straight or curved and are made of stainless steel. The main difference between straight Mayo scissors and Metzenbaum scissors is that Mayo scissors are heavier and designed for cutting tougher tissue, while Metzenbaum scissors are lighter and used for fine dissection. Mayo scissors were developed by surgeons at the Mayo Clinic and are named after the clinic. They are strong and designed to cut rigid structures, and can also be used for cutting sutures. They are not typically used for cutting bandages.
