Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The curved Mayo scissors are heavy-duty scissors that are designed to cut through thicker tissues like muscles. They have a curved blade that makes it easier to navigate around curved surfaces, which is important when cutting through a muscle. The Metzenbaum scissors are better suited for cutting through delicate tissues like blood vessels and thinner muscles, while the Iris scissors are typically used for more precise cutting in smaller areas. The straight Iris scissors could potentially be used for cutting through a muscle, but the curved blade of the Mayo scissors would be more effective.
