Littler Tendon Scissors Cvd. (S/S)

The Littler Tendon Scissors Cvd. (S/S) is a fine-pattern hand surgery scissors instrument forged from German-grade surgical stainless steel, available in 11.5 cm and 14 cm lengths. Both blade tips terminate in fine sharp points with the blade body following a consistent curved arc from the rivet screw joint to both tips. The defining feature is a small suture hole near the tip of one curved blade, through which a suture thread passes for tendon pulling during reconstructive hand procedures. Large symmetric finger rings sit on both handle arms, and the satin finish reduces glare under surgical lighting.

The suture hole in these Litter Scissors converts the instrument from a pure cutting tool into a dual-function cutting and suture-threading device, allowing the surgeon to route suture material, pull the thread to depth, and cut without changing instruments. Named after Dr. J. William Littler, pioneer of hand reconstruction and neurovascular island flap surgery, this instrument directly reflects the access demands of flexor tendon and digital reconstructive work.

Plastic surgeons and hand surgeons use the Littler Tendon Scissors Cvd. (S/S) for flexor tendon sheath dissection, suture routing during tendon repair, skin flap margin trimming, and fine subcutaneous tissue separation in reconstructive hand procedures. The 14 cm length reaches the palm and forearm operative field, while the 11.5 cm handles digital and web space sites. These tendon scissors also serve in scar tissue release and suture trimming during facelift and eyelid reconstruction.

Leader Surgical drills and finishes the suture hole to a consistent diameter and edge profile on every unit, determining whether thread passes through cleanly or requires force, a detail most manufacturers leave to batch-level tolerances rather than individual verification.

How do the curved blades help during surgery?
The curved design allows for better visualization and access to deep or constricted surgical areas. It helps the blades align with the body’s natural contours, facilitating smoother dissection and navigation in tight spaces.
