Swann-Morton Stitch Cutter

The Sterile Swann-Morton Stitch Cutter is a sterile, single-use surgical blade specifically designed for the safe and efficient removal of sutures in clinical and veterinary settings. Combining practicality with precision, it offers a cost-effective solution for everyday wound care procedures.

Crafted from high-quality carbon steel, this stitch cutter features a rounded bull-nose tip to protect the patient’s skin during suture removal. The unique shape allows the blade to slide easily under the suture without causing trauma to surrounding tissue. Once positioned, the surgical-quality cutting edge makes quick, clean work of severing the thread, reducing discomfort for the patient and streamlining the clinician’s workflow.

Key Features:

• Carbon steel blade with rounded bull-nose tip
• Sterile, single-use, individually wrapped
• Minimises trauma during suture removal
• Fits standard No. 3 Swann-Morton handles
• Suitable for clinical, hospital, and veterinary use
• Packaged for easy storage and fast access

Product Description

Unlike traditional scalpel blades, the Swann-Morton Stitch Cutter is purpose-built for suture removal. Its safety-focused design helps to minimise the risk of accidental injury to both the practitioner and the patient. The pre-sterilised packaging ensures hygiene is maintained right up to the point of use, making it suitable for use in operating theatres, outpatient clinics, and veterinary practices.

Each stitch cutter is individually wrapped in sterile peel-open foil packaging and intended for single-use only, supporting infection control protocols and reducing the need for post-procedure cleaning or disposal of contaminated reusable tools.

This stitch cutter is compatible with standard Swann-Morton No. 3 surgical handles, giving you the control and grip of a familiar instrument while using a blade optimised for this specific task. It is also available in economical packs, making it an excellent choice for practices seeking reliable, disposable consumables that meet high clinical standards.
