Scissors

Surgical scissors vary by named pattern, length, blade curvature, point combination, blade proportion, and cutting-edge option. Straight versus curved and sharp/sharp, blunt/blunt, or sharp/blunt combinations should be stated explicitly.

A sourcing specification should also cover joint movement, blade alignment, cutting test method, surface finish, marking, and whether a tungsten-carbide cutting option is required. The accepted sample should define handling and cutting expectations for repeat orders.
