MR Safe What does this mean?
MR Safe

MR Safe – an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments. Using the terminology, “MR Safe” items are non-conducting, non-metallic, and non-magnetic items such as a plastic Petri dish. An item may be determined to be MR Safe by providing a scientifically based rationale rather than test data.

MR Conditional

MR Conditional – an item that has been demonstrated to pose no known hazards in a specified MR environment with specified conditions of use. “Field” conditions that define the MR environment include static magnetic field strength, spatial gradient magnetic field, dB/dt (time rate of change of the magnetic field), radio frequency (RF) fields, and specific absorption rate (SAR). Additional conditions, including specific configurations of the item (e.g., the routing of leads used for a neurostimulation system), may be required.

MR Unsafe

MR Unsafe – An item that is known to pose hazards in all MRI environments. MR Unsafe items include magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are Titanium Potts Micro Scissors safe to use in MRI environments?

These scissors are made from non-magnetic titanium, which makes them well-suited for MRI suites that require instruments that won’t interact with the magnetic field. They’re commonly used in prep and sterile workflow areas in Zones II and III, where non-magnetic tools help maintain consistent safety protocols. As with any metal instrument, they shouldn’t be placed inside the bore during scanning unless your facility has defined MR-Conditional conditions for metal tools. Many MRI departments choose titanium scissors specifically to avoid ferromagnetic risks while keeping surgical-grade precision.

2. What makes angulated Potts micro scissors useful for MRI-related procedures or fine surgical work?

The angulated design gives you a clearer line of sight when you’re working in tight or delicate areas, which is exactly why surgeons and imaging-adjacent teams rely on this style. The titanium build keeps the scissors lightweight and steady, so you get controlled cutting without hand fatigue. In MRI environments, where stainless steel isn’t an option, these titanium Potts scissors let you maintain the same level of micro-precision you’d expect in a standard OR, but with the peace of mind that comes from using non-magnetic tools.

3. How well do titanium Potts micro scissors hold up to repeated sterilization and everyday clinical use?

Titanium handles heavy clinical use exceptionally well. These scissors resist corrosion, pitting, and edge wear, even when exposed to frequent autoclaving and standard disinfectants. The cutting edges stay sharp longer than many stainless options, and the lightweight feel reduces strain during long or repetitive procedures. For MRI departments trying to standardize on long-lasting, non-magnetic surgical instruments, titanium Potts scissors are a dependable, low-maintenance choice.
