Where to buy surgical scissors
John Blackmur
Surgical scissors are surgical instruments that are usually used for cutting. The term surgical scissor covers a selection of blades including bandage scissors, dissecting scissors, iris scissors, operating scissors, and plastic surgery scissors. The jaws of scissors are made up of stainless steel for on-going toughness. They come in a variety of different set-ups including blunt-edged and blunt or sharp-edged configurations.

There are a number of places where medical scissors and surgical equipment can be purchased. This can range from specialist sites to Amazon. First Aid Warehouse has a selection of scissors that can cover all of the elements that are required. Prices and sizes These scissors range in size and price starting at around £2.33 for 125mm scissors, going up in price to £5.82 for 175mm scissors. These prices and sizes are accurate as of 01.09.11. The site has a selection in different configurations, but on the whole the selection is not as detailed as you would expect from a supply store. They do stock a selection of surgical blades as well.
Medisave.co.uk
This site is another professional supply site. It is more expensive than the previous site, but has a wider selection. In addition, the site has a better design, using links to the best-selling items for each style. Prices The prices start from £4.45 for the basic scissors, ranging up to £58.75 for larger scissors with greater ranges of uses. All prices are accurate as of 01.09.11. The site also supplies medical forceps, other medical instruments and surgical supplies. The site is very clear to use, with prices being quoted with both VAT and ex VAT, so users can see the cost breakdown clearly and the site is clean and clear displaying only the pictures and a brief outline of the product.
Amazon
Amazon is quite an unusual place to find veterinary or surgical instruments, but they do have a decent selection of items that is available. Amazon does stock the items, but they stock them for consumer use more than professional use. Their prices start from around £2.51 ranging up to around £74, but this is a pack that includes ten pairs of scissors. So, factoring that in actually makes the price not that bad. If you are a professional, then you might want to use one on the other sites. However, if you are looking for good quality scissors, then this might be a worthwhile option.
