Role of surgical scissors in surgical procedures

Surgical scissors are primarily used for cutting tissues, skin, and sutures, undermining the deeper fiscal layers, dissecting biological tissues, and removing wound dressings. Surgical scissors are available in a wide range of designs, shapes, and sizes that can be chosen based on the surgery requirement. Some surgical scissors have short or long handles while the blades are curved or straight and smooth or serrated. The tips are usually blunt or sharp.
