Abstract:
A ring handled surgical instrument is disclosed which can act as a scissors, a blunt dissector and a gripper. The device is made from flexibly resilient, medical grade sheet material in which the handles are strong enough to withstand without flexion the closure forces imparted by the fingers of a clinician and yet allow the blades on the operative end of the scissors to remain flexibly springy.

Claim (Index 1):
A ring handed scissors constructed of flexibly resilient, medical grade material, wherein the inside of the blades, shy of 1 or 2 mm from the edges, are either dished out or completely removed in order to reduce mass and in order to increase flexibility,\n said remaining material to be no thicker than 0.040\u2033 in order to increase flexibility and to reduce drag upon closure.
