The traditional carbon steel sterile standard stitch cutter with its rounded bull nose tip ensures there is no damage to the skin whilst the surgical edge cuts through the suture with minimal resistance.

Product Features:

• The long stitch cutter allows for a more aseptic technique by operating further away from the actual wound which also permits better visibility.
• Standard stitch cutter approximately 84.6mm long.
• Long stitch cutter approximately 110.1mm long.
• Pack of 100.

Instructions:

• Although the Stitch Cutters are simple to use it is essential that all staff are both familiar and confident in using them.
• If necessary clean the area thoroughly with an appropriate solution.
• Hold the free end of the suture then slide under the Stitch Cutter so it lies flat to the patient's skin.
• Rotate the stitch cutter gently upwards so that the cutting edge contacts the suture material as close as possible to where it enters the skin.
• Gently pull the suture out ensuring that the section which has been exposed to the outside world is not drawn through the wound thus introducing potential contamination and an increased risk of post infection.
