That focus shows in listings like this one, where the options are the manufacturer’s own catalog options for the product.
- Fewer mid-case substitutions – the size, material, and sterility you pick are the ones that arrive
- Consistent supply – in-house sterilization and high daily output keep core sizes in production
- A specialist maker – the catalog is blades, scalpels, handles, and needles, nothing else
- Clean reorders – stable catalog numbers make the second order identical to the first

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stitch cutter used for?
A stitch cutter slides under a suture so the suture can be cut and lifted away during suture removal. The guarded edge shape keeps the point away from the skin while the suture is engaged.
What forms are in this listing?
This listing covers the form named in the product title, in sterile options packed as 100/bx. Short, long, and midi forms, cutter blades, and handled cutter scalpels are separate listings.
Does the cutter fit a handle?
Forms differ across the range: the stitch cutter blade is made to fit a size 3 handle, as its catalog listing states. The handled forms come with the handle already fitted and need nothing extra.
Are stitch cutters reusable?
No, these are sterile single use instruments. Each cutter is opened for one patient and disposed of after the removal.
Which brand line are they from?
These are Swann Morton stitch cutters sold by Cincinnati Surgical Company. The Swann Morton reference number is carried in the catalog listing for each option.
