Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Mayo and Metzenbaum scissors?

Mayo scissors have heavier, stronger blades for cutting tough tissue and fascia. Metzenbaum scissors have thinner, longer blades for delicate dissection of fine tissue.

Are tungsten carbide scissors worth it?

Yes. Tungsten carbide cutting edges stay sharp far longer than standard stainless steel, give cleaner cuts and reduce how often instruments need replacing — useful for high-volume use.
