Goldman-Fox Scissors 13cm Curved TC

Goldman-Fox Scissors 13cm Curved TC

The Goldman-Fox Scissors 13cm Curved TC measures 13 cm in total length and carries curved blades tapering to fine pointed tips, a narrow profile specifically developed for gingival tissue work within the confined spaces of the periodontal surgical field. The upper blade runs a razor-sharp smooth cutting edge while the lower blade carries diamond-cut micro-serrations that grip soft tissue during each stroke and prevent slippage. Tungsten carbide inserts bonded to both blades offer up to 6× longer service life than standard stainless-steel scissors across repeated sterilization cycles. Gold-colored finger rings on both handles identify this as a TC instrument on the sterile tray.

The curved blade arc follows the natural contour of the gingival margin, letting the surgeon track along the tissue surface without driving the fine tips into underlying bone or root structure. Dental Goldman Fox Scissor, TC, CVD, 13cm instruments combine a sharp upper blade for clean tissue division with a serrated lower blade that holds the tissue in place throughout the cutting stroke, reducing the need to reposition between passes.

Goldman fox scissors are used to trim tissue, barriers, and granulation tissue on the underside of flaps, and to cut suture thread during surgery. Periodontists reach for the Goldman-Fox Scissors 13cm Curved TC during gingivectomy to contour hypertrophied gingival tissue, during full-thickness flap surgery to trim flap margins before closure, and during crown lengthening procedures to resect excess gingival tissue along osseous margins. The curved TC configuration also suits guided tissue regeneration procedures where collagen membrane barriers require trimming to fit the defect outline.

Periodontists who have standardized their surgical tray on Leader Surgical find that the TC blade bonding and fine tip geometry stay consistent across every instrument, which matters most during multi-quadrant procedures where blade performance cannot vary between cases.

What makes “Tungsten Carbide” (TC) inserts special?
Tungsten Carbide is a composite material significantly harder than standard stainless steel. These inserts are seamlessly bonded to the blades to provide a sharper cutting edge that lasts up to 30 times longer than standard steel models.
