Straight-bladed Mayo scissors are designed for cutting body tissues near the surface of a wound. As straight-bladed Mayo scissors are also used for cutting sutures, they are also referred to as suture scissors. Curved-bladed Mayo scissors allow deeper penetration into the wound than the type with straight blades. The curved style of Mayo scissor is used to cut thick tissues such as those found in the uterus, muscles, breast, and foot. Mayo scissors used for dissection are placed in tissue with the tips closed.
1 You can cut plastic laminate material with a circular saw, saber saw, backsaw or utility knife. 2  The saw blade should be a fine-tooth blade (Fig. 2). 3  A strip of masking tape placed where the cut line is to be made helps prevent chipping and makes the line easier to see. When using a power circular saw or saber saw, cut from the back side of the laminate. 2  These saws cut on the upstroke. 3  Cutting from the back will help prevent chipping. 4  On hand saws, cut from the front side at a low angle. 5  Important: Always cut the sheets of laminated plastic slightly oversized to allow for trimming.
