  • Title: [Scissors. Instruments which cut and dissect].
    Author: Illana Esteban E.
    Journal: Rev Enferm; 2007 Apr; 30(4):36-8. PubMed ID: 17569237.
    Abstract:
    Scissors are the unquestionable dissection tool; all other surgical tools retire, hold back or separate structures and tissues so that one lone scissors complies with the main function during an operation. However the ideal scissors, designed for general cutting tasks and dissection in any place in the body does not exist; proof of this is the enormous variety of scissors available to surgeons.
