Dentists and periodontists reach for Iris Gum Scissors Fig. 1 whenever a procedure calls for fine, controlled cuts in soft gingival tissue. Since these scissors measure 11.5cm and feature a straight blade pattern, they give you precise, delicate control that curved variants can’t always match in tight intraoral spaces. Because gum and soft-tissue work demands a clean cut rather than a crushing motion, we designed these scissors with sharp, fine-tipped blades that minimize tissue trauma. As a result, they suit general dental clinics, periodontal practices, and oral surgery settings that sterilize instruments between every patient.

Clinical Applications
- Gingivectomy and gingival tissue trimming
- Periodontal soft-tissue contouring
- Frenectomy procedures
- Suture and flap-margin trimming during oral surgery
- Precision cutting in crown-lengthening procedures
Key Benefits
- They deliver precision where curved scissors can’t Because the straight Fig. 1 pattern keeps the blade path linear, you get more predictable cuts along flat or straight tissue margins than curved alternatives allow.
- They resist corrosion through repeated sterilization Since the blades use stainless steel, they hold their edge and finish across autoclave cycles better than lower-grade or chrome-plated scissors that dull and discolor faster.
- They minimize tissue trauma with a fine tip The sharp, fine-tipped blade design cuts cleanly rather than crushing tissue, which matters directly for patient healing time.
- They fit straight into your existing sterilization routine Because they’re fully autoclave-compatible, you don’t need any special handling or separate reprocessing steps.
Ideal For
General dental clinics, periodontal practices, oral surgery centers, and dental teaching institutions that need a reliable, reusable soft-tissue scissor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes you can sterilize them through standard autoclave cycles as part of your routine instrument reprocessing.
Straight scissors, like this Fig. 1 pattern, give you a linear cutting path that suits flat tissue margins, whereas curved scissors follow the natural contour of the gumline for angled cuts.
They’re fully reusable. You clean and sterilize them after each procedure, then return them to your instrument tray.
Dentists commonly use them for gingivectomy, frenectomy, suture trimming, and general soft-tissue contouring during periodontal and minor oral surgery procedures.
