Mayo Dissecting & Gynecological Scissors T/C Insert B/B (Str)

The Mayo Dissecting & Gynecological Scissors T/C Insert B/B (Str.) is available in four lengths: 14.5 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm, and 23 cm, carrying straight blades with blunt/blunt rounded tips in the standard Mayo pattern, where handle length and blade length are proportionally equal. This balanced ratio distributes instrument weight evenly across the hand, reducing grip fatigue during high-frequency suture cutting. Tungsten carbide inserts are bonded to both blade cutting edges, gold-colored finger rings identify TC fitting, and the full frame is premium surgical stainless steel with a satin finish.

The equal handle-to-blade ratio makes this the most maneuverable straight scissors in the Mayo series, lighter than the heavy-pattern Mayo-Stille, yet capable of cutting sutures, fascia, and superficial tissue cleanly. TC Mayo Dissecting Scissors Straight blade profile is suited to cut superficial tissues and sutures where curved instruments would overcorrect the blade angle on flat wound surfaces.

Mayo Dissecting Scissors straight configuration are used as utility scissors to cut sutures, steri-strips, and electrodes across a broad range of surgical procedures. General surgeons use the Mayo Dissecting & Gynecological Scissors T/C Insert B/B (Str.) as the primary suture-cutting instrument during abdominal wound closure. Gynecologists reach for it during episiotomy closure and vaginal repair to cut sutures along flat perineal surfaces.

Leader Surgical provides both standard Mayo and Mayo-Stille patterns across straight and curved configurations, so surgical teams always have the right instrument weight for the task without overstocking single heavy-pattern scissors across every tray position.

What does “T/C Insert” mean and why is it beneficial?
“T/C” stands for Tungsten Carbide. These are hard metal inserts welded into the cutting edges of the stainless-steel blades. They are significantly harder than standard steel, allowing the scissors to stay sharp for a much longer period and reducing the need for frequent sharpening.
