Castroviejo Scissors T/C Insert 14 cm S/B Str

The Castroviejo Scissors T/C Insert 14 cm S/B Str. measures 14 cm in total length and carries straight blades in a sharp/blunt tip configuration, the upper blade ends in a sharp point while the lower blade terminates in a rounded blunt tip, both running in full axial alignment. The spring-action flat knurled handle operates by thumb-and-finger compression without finger rings, returning the blades open automatically after each stroke. Tungsten carbide inlays coat both blade edges, and a matte satin finish across the body reduces glare under direct surgical lighting.

The straight blade path combined with the blunt lower tip defines this instrument’s primary function: suture removal. The blunt tip slides beneath the suture loop at the tissue surface without snagging or perforating the underlying mucosa, then the sharp upper blade shears the thread cleanly from above. Castroviejo Suture Scissor Straight TC 14cm Micro Oral instruments handle this task repeatedly across multi-suture wound closures without displacing adjacent tissue with each pass.

Castroviejo Scissors T/C Insert 14 cm S/B Str. instruments are used by periodontists for post-surgical suture removal following flap procedures, where the blunt tip navigates beneath suture knots along flat anterior and posterior ridge surfaces. Implantologists select this instrument to cut sutures after implant uncovering and membrane procedures, where mucosal tissue around the healing abutment is too thin to risk a sharp lower tip. The Castroviejo Scissors T/C Insert 14 cm S/B Str. also serves endodontists during microsurgical apicoectomy closure for suture removal along the anterior vestibular mucosa, where confined access demands a compact spring-grip instrument over conventional ring-handle scissors.

Dental teams that standardize on Leader Surgical instruments reduce instrument substitution errors on the tray, when the S/B Str. configuration is always available in consistent TC condition, suture removal proceeds without interruption from the first case to the last.

What is the benefit of the “S/B” (Sharp/Blunt) tip configuration?
This hybrid design provides versatility in a single tool. The sharp tip allows for precise piercing or initiating a cut in delicate tissue, while the blunt tip can be used for safe dissection, ensuring you don’t accidentally puncture underlying structures or vessels.
