Goldman-Fox B-16 & B-17 – Fine Gum Scissors
Goldman-Fox Scissors are fine serrated-edge scissors developed specifically for trimming gum tissue and fine mucosal work in dental and oral surgery. B Martin supplies this classic 12.5 cm / 5″ pattern as codes B-16 and B-17, making it a ready option for periodontal, oral, and fine plastic surgical trays.
The distinguishing feature of the Goldman-Fox scissor is the very fine serration on one blade edge, which holds the soft tissue in place while the other blade cuts — a critical advantage when trimming delicate gingiva, mucosal flaps, or skin tags, where slippage would cause ragged cuts and tissue damage. The blades are short and curved, the shank is long and finely tapered, and the finger rings are balanced for precise control in restricted intra-oral fields. The 12.5 cm / 5″ length is the standard working length preferred by most dental surgeons. Fully autoclavable, made from surgical-grade stainless steel.
Applications & Clinical Uses
Routine in periodontal and oral surgery for trimming gingival tissue and mucosal flaps, in dental implantology for soft-tissue management, and in fine plastic and ENT surgery where the serrated blade edge prevents tissue slippage during delicate cutting.
