Why Medical Grade?
Medical grade scissors from Excelta are manufactured to tighter tolerances than standard utility scissors — with precision-ground blades that maintain their edge longer, close cleanly without binding, and resist corrosion in demanding environments. This makes them ideal for any application where cut quality, repeatability, and hygiene matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the blade length of the Excelta 357?
The Excelta 357 has an extra fine 1.11" blade, making it suitable for precise, controlled cuts in confined spaces or on small, delicate materials.
What materials can the Excelta 357 cut?
The 357 is suited for fine wire, thin tubing, heat shrink, sleeving, thread, thin film, and similar materials. It is not designed for cutting thick wire or hard substrates.
Is the Excelta 357 ESD safe?
The 357 is stainless steel and not ESD rated. For ESD-sensitive environments, use alongside proper ESD controls (mats, wrist straps). Excelta also offers ESD-safe tool options.
How do I maintain Excelta precision scissors?
Wipe blades clean after use to remove residue. Keep pivot point lightly lubricated for smooth action. Avoid cutting materials outside the tool's rated capacity — forcing hard materials will misalign or nick the precision-ground blades. Store in a protective case when not in use.
What makes Excelta scissors different from standard scissors?
Excelta scissors are precision-ground to medical grade tolerances, ensuring blade alignment, clean closure, and edge retention well beyond standard utility scissors. They are built for applications where cut quality directly affects process outcomes.
