MemoryFlex™surgical scissors cuts better, lasts longer and causes less trauma to tissue. The memory steel patented technology provides the ultimate in durability. Memory steel flexes, maintaining a high sheer stress on the cutting edge and cutting all the way to the tip. Stainless steel scissors fail not only because they dull quickly, but also because the scissors screw loosens, and the individual blades splay. MemoryFlex™ scissors can cleanly cut through at least 64 layers of latex while most of the scissors on the market are not able to handle eight layers.  
 
How is this possible? The magic lies in the memory, spring stainless steel employed in their manufacturing. Most surgical instruments are made of hardened stainless steel that requires a significant amount of carbon. The carbon aids in the stiffness but is also responsible for the brittleness, corrosiveness and inflexibility. Memory steel, on the other hand, is quite flexible and always returns to its original shape.

    Features of MemoryFlex Surgical Scissors

    Super Lightweight 

    Our new scissors are 1/3 the weight of standard stainless steel, approximating the weight of titanium while maintaining the strength, durability and survivorship of stainless steel. Because of their design and the use of basic engineering principles, these instruments only require 1/3 of the metal traditionally required for the manufacture of standard surgical instruments. 

    Virtually Unbreakable 

    Because the new line of instruments are not heat treated and have only a trace of carbon in the molecular mix, they are corrosion resistant. They are not affected by the fatiguing and destructive nature of multiple cycles in the ultrasonic bath. The high level of flex in the blades dramatically improves performance and durability. 

    Perfect for Left Hand Use 

    Additionally, the excessive shearing bias counteracts the negative 'shear reducing aspects' of use in the left hand. This makes our instruments ideal for left hand use. If you are left handed, you will notice the difference the first time you use our memory steel scissors.
