Episiotomy Scissors

Episiotomy scissors are specialized surgical instruments designed for performing an episiotomy, a procedure where a precise incision is made in the perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and the anus) during childbirth. The primary goal of this procedure is to enlarge the vaginal opening to facilitate a smoother and safer delivery, especially in cases of fetal distress, shoulder dystocia, or when the perineum is at high risk of tearing.

These scissors are typically made from high-quality, surgical-grade stainless steel, which provides durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with sterilization processes such as autoclaving. The construction ensures that the blades maintain sharpness for clean and accurate incisions, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues and reducing the risk of irregular tearing.
