Our black handled surgical scissors designate our SuperCut scissors. These scissors have one on razor sharp blade and one micro-serrate blade. Surgical scissors with one black handle and one gold handle are SuperCut scissors with tungsten carbide inserts. Tungsten carbide is harder than steel, which means the instruments last longer. The SuperCut edges offer a couple of advantages for surgeons. 

• Sharp edge gives a clean cut with minimal tissue damage
• Serrated edge actually holds the tissue to prevent it from slipping while you are making an incision
