Gynecological Scissors for Obstetric and Uterine Procedures
Gynecologic and obstetric work needs scissors shaped for specific tasks, from cutting in childbirth to dissecting within the uterus. Blade angle, length and tip all affect how safely and accurately the surgeon can cut, and the wrong shape makes even a simple step harder. Our gynecological scissors collection brings together episiotomy, uterine and umbilical scissors for obstetricians, gynecologists, midwives, hospitals and purchasing teams who want clearly described instruments at clear prices. Whether you are equipping a delivery suite or a gynecology theatre, you can compare each pattern and choose what suits your technique, your caseload and the way your team likes to work. The range is small and focused, so comparing patterns is quick, and every listing has its own page for you to review.
Types of Gynecological Scissors We Offer
Episiotomy scissors. The Braun Episiotomy Scissors are angled obstetric scissors listed in 6 inch and 8 inch sizes. The Waldmann Episiotomy Scissors offer a further pattern.
Uterine scissors. The Sims Uterine Scissors and the Kelly Uterine Scissors are made for cutting within the uterus.
Umbilical scissors. The Umbilical Scissors are made for dividing the umbilical cord.
Why Instrument Quality Matters
These scissors work close to delicate tissue, so a clean, even edge and a smooth, secure pivot are essential. A dull or misaligned blade crushes tissue instead of cutting it, and a loose pivot reduces control. Check the specifications on each product page carefully, since sizes and options differ between patterns. Reliable instruments also keep a case moving, because fewer replacements mean fewer interruptions for the delivery team. Between cases, protect the scissors in sterilization baskets and follow the manufacturer's instructions and your facility's reprocessing protocol.
How to Choose the Right Scissors
-
Task: Choose episiotomy scissors for obstetric cutting, uterine scissors for gynecologic dissection and umbilical scissors for cord division.
-
Blade angle: Angled blades suit episiotomy work, while curved blades suit deeper dissection.
-
Size: Check listed sizes, such as 6 inch or 8 inch, for reach and control.
-
Options: Most listings offer selectable options, so confirm your choice before ordering.
Inspect the blades and pivot before every case, and keep spares ready, since a damaged pair should never delay a delivery, hold up a theatre list or ever be used on a patient. Compare prices and availability on each product page, or ask our team if you need help planning a larger order for your busy hospital, clinic or maternity unit.
