Description
Serrated-blade scissors for controlled soft-tissue trimming and suture cutting — in a standard 14 cm working length.
Hu-Friedy #15 Sullivan Scissors (S15) combine one serrated blade for grip with one smooth opposing blade for clean cutting — the same pairing as the Joseph scissors, in a slightly longer 14 cm / 5.5" format. Well-balanced and reliable, they’re a dependable everyday instrument for gingival tissue management and suture cutting in periodontal and oral surgical procedures.
