Hu-Friedy S14 #14 LaGrange Scissors – Sharp Stainless Steel Dental

Description

Product Overview

The Hu‑Friedy S14 #14 LaGrange Scissors represent a culmination of decades of dental instrument innovation, delivering a tool that balances precision, durability, and ergonomic design. Constructed from high‑tempered surgical stainless steel, each blade is meticulously honed to a razor‑sharp edge, while the opposing blade incorporates fine serrations that grip tissue without causing unnecessary trauma. This dual‑blade configuration enables clinicians to cut both fine and coarse tissue with confidence, minimizing the risk of slippage that can compromise patient outcomes. The scissors measure 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) in length, providing an optimal balance between reach and control for a variety of intra‑oral procedures. The single gold‑colored handle ring not only offers a distinctive visual cue for quick identification in a busy clinical setting but also contributes to a comfortable, secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use. Packaging dimensions are compact (10 × 10 × 10 inches) and lightweight, ensuring easy storage and transport.

Usage

These scissors are purpose‑built for dental professionals performing a wide range of procedures, from routine prophylaxis to complex periodontal surgeries. The razor‑sharp, serrated blades excel in interproximal tissue removal, allowing for precise trimming of gingival margins, removal of excess tissue, and preparation of surgical sites. Their durability makes them suitable for both soft tissue and tougher fibrous material, such as when excising granulation tissue or trimming sutures. The ergonomic handle design ensures that clinicians can maintain a steady hand position, even when operating in confined oral cavities or under magnification. Because the blades retain their edge longer than standard instruments, the S14 scissors reduce the need for frequent sharpening, translating into cost savings and consistent performance over time. Ideal for general dentists, periodontists, oral surgeons, and dental hygienists, these scissors integrate seamlessly into any dental instrument set.
