Super Cut: exceptionally sharp and made to keep a fine cutting edge through regular use and sterilisation.
Iris-pattern scissors, straight, 11cm, for fine soft-tissue work. The slim tapered blades give you close control when trimming sutures and delicate gingival tissue. The straight blades give a direct, predictable cut where access is clear and the cutting tips are in plain view. The purple coloured finish helps separate this pair from otherwise identical scissors in a shared surgery.
- Super Cut blades: one razor-sharp edge and one micro-serrated edge, so the serrated blade grips tissue and suture while the sharp blade cuts
- Iris pattern, straight, 11cm for fine intraoral access
- Purple coloured finish for easy identification on the tray
- Hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 420J2 stainless steel, autoclavable
FAQs
What are iris scissors used for in dentistry?
They handle fine soft-tissue tasks: snipping and trimming sutures, releasing small tissue tags, and gingival trimming during periodontal, implant and oral surgical procedures.
When would I choose straight rather than curved?
Straight blades suit direct-access work where you can see the cut clearly, such as trimming sutures. If you need to follow tissue contours or reach round a curve, the Iris Scissor, Purple Curved, Super Cut is the matching curved pair in the same purple finish.
What does Super Cut mean?
One blade carries a razor-sharp edge and the other a row of fine micro-serrations. The serrated blade holds tissue and suture in place while the sharp blade cuts, so the material does not slide away from the blades. Super Cut scissors are exceptionally sharp and made to keep a fine cutting edge through regular use and sterilisation.
What material is this instrument made from?
The blades are hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 420J2 stainless steel, a grade chosen for edge retention, and the instrument withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
