Tungsten Carbide - TC
Tungsten carbide is tough, only a diamond edge or laser beam will work it. Therefore, over an extended L
period time no or negligible wear can be detected.
• T he TC edge on scissors gives a soft touch. Thus, less force is required in delicate procedures,
reducing trauma to the tissue.
A
• T he Needle Holders are indestructible and firmly hold the needle, while keeping the needle surface
smooth. The needle nestles into concave/convex pyramids, regardless of needle positioning, so that
the needle does not rotate during surgery.
C
Titanium
Titanium (Material No. 7035, 7165) is approximately 50% lighter than steel to minimize tissue trauma during
operations. Titanium instruments are also corrosion-proof, rugged and antimagnetic.
I
Diamond G
Diamond-coated tweezers grip as no other can! Each tweezer is made of stainless steel and coated with
extremely fine diamond particles on the inside tips. This tweezer should be used for special applications
where gripping is essential.
R
UltraEdge
Our UltraEdge Scissors warrant your careful consideration. The highest quality steel goes into forging of an
extremely durable razor edge on one blade and the opposite edge has a wave serration. The result is a solid
smooth cut. U
