mending.




this weeks feature [or maybe this months feature] is going to be on scissors used in medical situations. scissors used for mending and repairing and restoring. so welcome and enjoy!

the above pair are called LISTER scissors and are named for a British surgeon. He demonstrated in 1865 that carbolic acid was an effective antiseptic agent, decreasing postoperative fatalities from infection.
