The stitch cutter is used for general suture removal. Appearing similar to a scalpel, this instrument requires no handle and is a simple, convenient way to remove basic sutures whilst minimising patient discomfort. The slightly curved, flat, bull nose tip slides under the suture and when rotated, gently removes the suture from the site. Each single-use blade is protected by VCI paper in a peel-open foil sachet.

Made from carbon steel.

Sterilized by gamma radiation to a minimum dosage of 2.5M Rad, stitch cutters have a sterile shelf life of 5 years.

Supplied in packs of 100.
