Rigid endoscopic scissors are reusable surgical tools designed for precise cutting of tissue or sutures during minimally invasive endoscopic procedures. These devices are inserted through the working channel of an endoscope to assist in procedures like arthroscopy or laparoscopy, where direct access is limited.
These scissors are typically regulated as surgical instruments and must meet safety and performance standards for reusable medical devices. They are often supplied sterile or require sterilization before use, adhering to strict reprocessing protocols to ensure patient safety.
