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.
