Surgical scissors

A method of forming surgical scissors comprising first and second blade members joined between first and second arms of a clevis at a pivot point, wherein the first and second blade members and the first and second arms each define pin holes at the pivot point, the method comprising:

• positioning the first and second blade members of the surgical scissors and the clevis such that the pin holes of the first and second blades align with the pin holes of the first and second arms of the clevis;
• applying a compressive force to the first and second blade members and the clevis, wherein the compressive force is directed to force the first and second blade members towards one another between the first and second arms of the clevis, wherein applying the compressive force comprises:
• placing the first and second blade members and the clevis in a clamp;
• and
• engaging the clamp to apply the compressive force;
• and
• while maintaining the compressive force, applying a fastener through the pin holes of the first and second blade members and the first and second arms of the clevis, wherein the fastener is configured to join the first blade member and the second blade member, wherein applying the fastener comprises applying the fastener through an access opening over the pin holes of the first and second blade members, wherein the access opening is defined by the clamp.

• positioning the first and second blade members of the surgical scissors and the clevis such that the pin holes of the first and second blades align with the pin holes of the first and second arms of the clevis;
• applying a compressive force to the first and second blade members and the clevis, wherein the compressive force is directed to force the first and second blade members towards one another between the first and second arms of the clevis, wherein applying the compressive force comprises:
• placing the first and second blade members and the clevis in a clamp;
• and
• engaging the clamp to apply the compressive force, wherein engaging the clamp comprises actuating a threaded screw;
• and
• while maintaining the compressive force, applying a fastener through the pin holes of the first and second blade members and the first and second arms of the clevis, wherein the fastener is configured to join the first blade member and the second blade member.

A method of forming surgical scissors comprising first and second blade members joined between first and second arms of a clevis at a pivot point, wherein the first and second blade members and the first and second arms each define pin holes at the pivot point, wherein the first blade member comprises a first blade end positioned distally from the pin hole of the first blade member and a first cam positioned proximally from the pin hole of the first blade member, wherein the first cam defines a first cam slot, wherein the second blade member comprises a second blade end positioned distally from the pin hole of the second blade member and a second cam positioned proximally from the pin hole of the second blade member, and wherein the second cam defines a second cam slot, the method comprising:

• positioning the first and second blade members of the surgical scissors and the clevis such that the pin holes of the first and second blades align with the pin holes of the first and second arms of the clevis;
• applying a compressive force to the first and second blade members and the clevis, wherein the compressive force is directed to force the first and second blade members towards one another between the first and second arms of the clevis;
• and
• while maintaining the compressive force, applying a fastener through the pin holes of the first and second blade members and the first and second arms of the clevis, wherein the fastener is configured to join the first blade member and the second blade member.
