EPISITOMY 19.5 cm curved with serrated tungsten carbide blade: precision and optimal grip for episiotomy
The Frimed EPISITOMY 19.5 cm curved is a surgical instrument designed for the specific needs of healthcare professionals in obstetrics. Used mainly for performing episiotomies, it combines several essential features: precision, ease of handling and durability. Its design is suited to demanding environments, where every movement counts and where cutting control directly influences the quality of care.
The curved shape of this model plays a fundamental role. It allows it to follow the anatomical axis of the perineum during childbirth, providing excellent visibility and better control of the surgical procedure. This curvature facilitates the insertion and orientation of the scissors without forcing or disturbing the surgical area, which is crucial in a context where time and safety are of the utmost importance.
The model has a serrated blade on one side only. This technical feature keeps the tissue firmly in place during cutting, reducing the risk of uncontrolled slippage or unwanted lesions. This support is particularly appreciated in situations where tissue tension is low or unstable.
In addition, tungsten carbide inserts are fitted to the cutting edges. This material, which is much harder than conventional stainless steel, gives the instrument exceptional wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness. The cutting edge remains reliable even after numerous sterilisation cycles, making it an economical and functional choice in the long term.
The quality of the material is also outstanding: the surgical stainless steel used guarantees high resistance to corrosion, autoclave sterilisation and common disinfectants. The gold rings, in addition to their aesthetic appeal, allow the instrument to be quickly identified in the operating theatre, avoiding confusion and optimising preparation time.
Designed for a comfortable grip, the EPISITOMY 19.5 cm has an ergonomic design suitable for all hand sizes. The blades open and close smoothly, with perfectly calibrated mechanical resistance to enable precise and fluid work.
This model combines cutting performance, durability and manoeuvrability. It is a reliable tool for medical teams involved in assisted delivery and an indispensable ally in the daily practice of maternity professionals.
