Description
Sims scissors, also called Sims uterine scissors, are gynaecological scissors with long, curved, beveled blades, used for tissue dissection in pelvic and vaginal surgery.
For general dissection of tougher tissue, see the Mayo dissecting scissors.
Store them closed and use them only on the material they are made for, so the edges stay sharp. They are supplied non-sterile: clean and sterilise them before use.

Care and use
Before first use
They are supplied non-sterile. Clean and sterilise them before first use, then check that the tips meet and the blades close smoothly along their length.
Cleaning
Clean them as soon as possible after use so nothing dries on. Use a neutral (pH 7) instrument detergent with the blades open; an ultrasonic cleaner reaches the joint best. Rinse well, ideally in distilled water, and dry completely.
Lubricating and sterilising
Before sterilising, treat the joint with a water-soluble instrument lubricant. Sterilise them with the blades slightly open, following your steriliser's instructions and your facility's process.
What to avoid
Saline, bleach and other chloride solutions cause pitting and corrosion in stainless steel. Don't soak or rinse the instrument in them, and keep it apart from instruments made of other metals during cleaning.
