Abstract:
Improved angular shear or scissors comprising two mated scissor elements, each of which comprises a blade section, a shank section and a handle section, said elements being pivotally united at a position between blade and shank whereby cutting action can occur when handle sections are manipulated. Other standard scissors feature is a blunt tip that prevents piercing as a safety measure. Medical procedures require a greater range of mechanical assistance than these scissors can provide—mostly related to gripping action.The object of the present invention is to provide gripping ability to significantly increase the usefulness of these scissors by practitioners. The grip provided by the utility created by this modification can be used to grip-in-order-to-twist (rotating motion), grip to hold (stationary), or grip to insert or extract (straight motions). The grooves must be fine in order to prevent cutting manipulated items, maintaining safety of original unmodified scissors.
