SCISSORS
PROBLEM: Traditional scissors are made from two blades of hardened steel or titanium. The two halves are held together by a rivet that creates the pivot point of the instrument. As the blades shear the material that comes between and work against each other, pressure is exerted on the rivet. When scissors fail to cut, it is more often the result of excessive wear causing the rivet to loosen, than the blades becoming dull. The constant and costly repair is a result of having to disassemble the scissors, re-sharpen the blades, re-establish the shearing bias (angle) and reapply the pivot. More importantly, degradation in performance and the need to repair scissors is often discovered during surgery, when the instrument fails to perform.
SOLUTION: Laschal scissors
Laschal scissors are fabricated from the highest
grade of spring stainless steel. This allows the blades to flex during cutting,
resulting in less pressure transmitted back to the rivet, essentially eliminating
loosening. The blades are designed with an increased bias (shear angle), which
provides greater cutting efficiency at the tips, which is crucial in precise
cutting during surgery. The patented Laschal design provides a high level of
performance and durability, and comes with free maintenance for one year including
reconditioning and sharpening.
