These scissors have a slender, sharp double-beveled blade for precise cutting.
The blade is short and flat with a blunt tip for support.
The sharp blades facilitate easy insertion into the vagina during episiotomy procedures.
Purpose:
Episiotomy: An episiotomy is a surgical incision made in the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) to widen the vaginal opening during childbirth.
Clean Incision: The scissors are used to create a clean incision, allowing the birth canal to enlarge and facilitate safe delivery.
Procedure:
Your healthcare provider will use these scissors during the second stage of labor (the pushing stage).
As your baby’s head stretches your vaginal opening, the provider will make the episiotomy incision using these specialized scissors.
After delivery, your baby will be followed by the placenta.
