1. Design and Features:

   • These scissors have a slender, sharp double-beveled blade for precise cutting.
   • The blade is short and flat with a blunt tip for support.
   • The sharp blades facilitate easy insertion into the vagina during episiotomy procedures.

2. Purpose:

   • Episiotomy: An episiotomy is a surgical incision made in the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) to widen the vaginal opening during childbirth.
   • Clean Incision: The scissors are used to create a clean incision, allowing the birth canal to enlarge and facilitate safe delivery.

3. Procedure:

   • Your healthcare provider will use these scissors during the second stage of labor (the pushing stage).
   • As your baby’s head stretches your vaginal opening, the provider will make the episiotomy incision using these specialized scissors.
   • After delivery, your baby will be followed by the placenta.
