According to TheMedSupplyGuide.com

Medical scissors (sometimes called precision scissors) are known for their ability to make exact cuts with little effort. Good scissors give a constant and progressive cut, from bottom to top. Like most other surgical instruments they are made from stainless steal.

Conventional surgical scissors utilize two movements, one to open and one to close the jaws. Other scissors may have a spring action in the body design that holds the jaws in an open position. Surgical scissor tips may be blunt or sharp and the blades straight or curved. There are Scissors with long handles and short blades which are used for surgery in deep areas of the body. Mayo and Metzenbaum scissors are the two most used scissors in surgery. Mayo scissors are used for cutting heavy fascia and sutures while the Metzenbaum scissors are used more for delicate tissue. Metzenbaum scissors have a longer handle to blade ratio.
