Product Overview

The Mayo Straight Round Point Scissors are a standard, heavy-duty instrument used primarily for cutting suture, dressings, and robust, superficial tissues. The straight blades provide a clear and direct line of sight for surface-level cutting, while the round points (often referred to as blunt points) provide a margin of safety, making them ideal for tasks where sharp tips are not required or may pose a risk. This design is favored for general surgery and operating theater use.
