How are scissors with tungsten carbide cutting edges typically identified?

1. Silver Handles

2. Black Handles

3. Gold Handles

4. White Handles

The correct answer is: Gold Handles

Scissors with tungsten carbide cutting edges are typically identified by gold handles. This specific color identification helps in easily recognizing these scissors among others in the sterile processing department. It is important to remember this detail when working with different types of instruments to ensure proper handling and maintenance. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the typical identification for scissors with tungsten carbide cutting edges. Silver, black, or white handles are not commonly used to identify this specific type of scissors in sterile processing.
