Mayo-Carroll Scissors - Tungsten Carbide tungsten carbide, beveled blades, 9" (23.0 cm)101.89 Mayo-Carroll Scissors are handcrafted with tungsten carbide inlays to increase durability and provide the sharpest cutting edge. This 9" scissor has a beveled blade and is available straight tipped for superficial dissections, curved for deeper dissections and as a curved with micro serrated edges to allow for the most delicate dissection. These can also be used as heavy duty general purpose scissors with serrated blades, and are ideal for cases such as cutting breast tissue and muscles in breast reconstruction procedures. Scissors combine the performance and precision of supercut with the durability of tungsten carbide cutting edges. These scissors: 1) feature tungsten carbide inlays on both blades for increased durability, sharper cutting edges and enhanced service life; 2) have one standard blade and one with micro-serrations; 3) feature inlays that are soldered onto the blades in a vacuum oven, not welded, resulting in a harder and more durable inlay than those welded on in a traditional process; and 4) feature gold-plated handles with stripes.
