Locklin 16 cm Saw Edge Angular Gum Scissors

The Locklin 16 cm Saw Edge Angular Gum Scissors is a single-ended stainless-steel scissors instrument measuring 16 cm in overall length. It follows the Locklin pattern — a blade angled away from the shank to position the cutting edge along deep gingival margins. The 16 cm length adds reach beyond the standard Locklin format. That extra length accesses posterior and deep-pocket sites without repositioning. The saw-edge serrated blade covers the full jaw length. It locks onto fibrous gingival tissue on first contact. The ring handles are solid stainless-steel with the balance point at mid-shank.

Locklin 16 cm scissors combine the Locklin angular geometry with extended reach. The Locklin angular gum scissors 16cm serrated format places the angled cutting edge deeper into the operative field than the standard Locklin length allows. The saw-edge blade grips fibrous tissue before each closing stroke applies force. That grip prevents slippage on tough gingival and connective material at depth. Full stainless-steel construction maintains serration geometry through repeated autoclave cycles at 134°C.

Periodontists managing deep posterior pockets and extended gingival sites need an angled instrument with enough reach to work without repositioning. The Locklin 16 cm Saw Edge Angular Gum Scissors handles deep gingival trimming, posterior margin access, and fibrous tissue cutting beyond standard instrument reach. It suits any case where an angled Locklin scissors 16cm gum tissue instrument must hold a secure cutting grip at extended depth.

Leader Surgical manufacture these instruments to periodontal practices handling complex deep-field gingival procedures.

How does specifying 16 cm distinguish this Locklin scissors from the general Locklin Saw Edge Angular variant?

The 16 cm length designation establishes this as a defined mid-range instrument within the Locklin angular gum scissors family, longer than compact short-shanked variants for improved posterior reach, yet shorter than longer 17 cm Dean-style scissors. At 16 cm it provides a practical balance of intraoral reach and close-range blade tip control specifically suited for mid-to-posterior gingival access in routine periodontal procedures.
