Prep, Packaging & Storage第 78 / 100 题
How should the cutting performance of surgical scissors be verified during inspection?
a.By running a fingernail along the blade edge
b.By cutting through the appropriate test material, such as several layers of gauze or a test material specified by the manufacturer, using the distal third of the blades
c.By holding the blades up to the light to check for gaps
d.By opening and closing the scissors to check the pivot screw only
解析
Scissors are tested by cutting a standardized material with the tips, because the distal portion of the blades is where dullness first appears and where clinical cutting failures occur. Feeling the edge is subjective and creates a sharps injury risk. Light inspection and pivot checks are useful additional steps but do not confirm cutting performance.
