Ligature Scissors B-25 and B-26 – Surgical Suture Cutting Scissors

Ligature scissors are a dedicated instrument for one of the most repeated tasks in any surgical procedure — cutting sutures. The B Martin B-25/B-26 pair features narrow blades with a refined cutting-edge geometry that slips cleanly under suture loops and divides them without dragging or fraying the material. The B-25 straight pattern is the standard choice for accessible sutures in open wounds and superficial ligations; the B-26 curved pattern allows the surgeon to reach around structures, through tight operative corridors, and into deep tissue pockets. Both are manufactured in surgical-grade stainless steel with a satin finish and balanced ring handles for comfortable, controlled use across long operating sessions.

Applications & Clinical Uses

Ligature scissors are used in every surgical discipline where suturing is performed: wound closure in general surgery, vascular ligation, obstetric and gynaecological procedures, orthopaedic soft-tissue repair, and wherever clean, reliable suture cutting is required. The B-26 curved variant is particularly valuable in deep-cavity procedures and for reaching around structures.
