Gynecologist scissors: are precision cutting instruments used across obstetric and gynecology instrument trays, from routine dissection to hysterectomy and episiotomy repair. As one of the most frequently reached-for gynecologist tools in any OB/GYN kit, scissors need to hold a sharp edge through repeated sterilization while matching the exact tissue type and depth of the procedure. Gulmaher Surgico manufactures a full range of gynecologist scissors in surgical-grade stainless steel, built to hold that edge cycle after cycle.
Choosing the right scissor pattern matters more than it might seem. Tissue density, incision depth, and angle of approach all determine which scissor a surgeon reaches for — which is why most gynecology instruments trays carry two or three scissor types rather than one all-purpose pair.
Our gynecologist scissors range
Mayo scissors (straight and curved) — the workhorse of most gynecological trays, used for general-purpose cutting, blunt dissection, and suture trimming. The curved pattern is favored for deeper access where a straight blade would obstruct the surgeon's view.
Metzenbaum scissors — longer, more delicate blades designed for cutting soft tissue with minimal trauma. Their finer tips make them the preferred choice for dissecting fascia and other tissue layers where precision outweighs cutting force.
Hysterectomy scissors — built with longer shafts specifically to reach deeper pelvic structures during abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy, where standard-length scissors would force awkward hand positioning.
Episiotomy scissors (Braun-Stadler pattern) — angled blades designed for controlled, single-motion perineal incision during delivery, reducing the risk of an uneven or extended tear versus general-purpose scissors.
Umbilical cord scissors — shaped for a clean, single-motion cut immediately after delivery, with blunt tips that protect the newborn during the cut.
Sterilization
Every gynecologist scissors pattern here ships non-sterile and is rated for standard steam autoclave sterilization: 121°C (250°F) for 30 minutes, or flash autoclave at 127–132°C (260–270°F) for 10 minutes. We recommend following your facility's own sterilization validation procedures alongside these general guidelines.
