Miltex® Shortbent Stitch Scissors
3-1/2" (90mm) | Curved | Delicate | German Stainless Steel

The Miltex® Shortbent Stitch Scissors (9-101) are precision operating scissors designed for fine suture removal and delicate cutting tasks close to the tissue surface. Manufactured to Miltex's high-quality German instrument standards, the short, bent blade profile allows clinicians to work at a low angle to the patient, improving visibility and control when trimming sutures near the skin.

The curved, delicate blades provide precise, controlled cutting for fine suture material without unnecessary tissue disturbance. At 3-1/2" (90mm) in length, these compact scissors are well-suited to close, detailed work where a full-length operating scissor would be cumbersome.

As a reusable stainless steel instrument, these scissors are designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining their precision and finish over the long term, supporting reliable, repeatable performance across procedures.
