Scissors Testing
Until recently, it's been difficult to gauge if scissors were performing
optimally. To test them, surgeons often tried cutting a piece of material, but this
yielded inconsistent results due to the variety of materials used. Today, there is a
rubber-like material known as Theraband to test scissors' sharpness.
 | Medium-grade red Theraband is used for scissors
measuring 4.5 inches to 12 inches in length |
| Yellow Theraband is used for scissors measuring 3
inches to 4 inches in length |
Make several complete cuts through the material, cutting all the way to
the distal tip (where scissors most often dull). This test will indicate
satisfactory sharpness. The scissor test material is available from Spectrum.
