Tungsten Carbide Cutting Performance
The TC (Tungsten Carbide) inserts on the cutting edges of these Kelly Scissors ensure a sharper, longer-lasting edge compared to standard stainless steel scissors. Tungsten carbide-tipped blades are renowned in surgical instrument design for their superior hardness and wear resistance, enabling cleaner tissue cuts over an extended service life. The result is consistent, precise cutting performance across repeated clinical procedures.
