Dog Ear Cropping Scissors 5.5″ Straight Blunt/Blunt Blades | SAG Surgical

Description

The 5.5-inch straight blunt/blunt Dog Ear Cropping Scissors  are specialized surgical instruments designed for precision cutting and shaping during canine ear cropping (otoplasty) procedures. The SAG Surgical canine ear cropping scissors feature heavy, extra-sharp blades with blunt, rounded tips, engineered to deliver clean, accurate cuts while preventing accidental injury to the delicate ear tissue . This design makes them the go-to choice for veterinary surgeons performing breed-specific ear shaping.

These veterinary surgical scissors are uniquely crafted from premium German stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand repeated sterilization cycles . The 5.5-inch length of these otoplasty scissors is the standard size for this procedure, offering the perfect balance between reach and control for precise manipulation . The straight, blunt/blunt blade design is specifically engineered for creating sharp, clean cuts on ear cartilage while the rounded tips protect the tissue from puncture damage . These scissors are a crucial part of a professional ear cropping set, which also includes clamps and forceps.

Dog ear cropping scissors are essential for the surgical modification of a puppy’s ear cartilage to achieve a specific shape and erect ear carriage, commonly performed on breeds like Boxers and Dobermans . The blunt tips are a critical safety feature, preventing the scissors from accidentally “jabbing” or tearing the sensitive skin and cartilage during the precise trimming process . The heavy blades on this Dog Ear Cropping Scissors are powerful enough to make clean cuts through cartilage while providing the surgeon with excellent feedback and control.
