Short description
1.1 This terminology defines basic terms and considerations for the components of scissors with either inserted or non-inserted blades (see Fig. 1 ). Instruments in this terminology are limited to those fabricated having scissor blades made from stainless steel and used for surgical procedures. Inserts may be made from a material other than stainless steel. 1.2 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
