Memory steel flexes, maintaining a high sheer bias on the cutting edge and enabling the scissors to cut all the way to the tip. Traditional scissors do not fail because they dull quickly, they fail because they get loose. When this (inevitably) happens the individual blades splay apart, crushing soft-tissue in between them. Further, scissors do not fail in storage or in sterilization, they fail during procedure. They fail when it is too late, and the damage has already been done.

MemoryFlex™ scissors can cleanly cut through 64 layers of latex while most of the scissors on the market are not able to handle eight layers. This is a simulation of calcified tissue.

How is this possible? The key ...
