Extended Reach and Controlled Dissection Across Surgical Workflows

Metzenbaum dissecting scissors are designed for tissue dissection, combining 16-inch overall length with curved blades, blunt tips, and a ring handle. The extended format can support access and reach when working across deeper or less direct operative fields, while the curved blade profile aligns with controlled dissecting movements and helps maintain a clear working view. Blunt tips support careful handling during routine tissue separation, and the ring handle provides a familiar grip configuration for instrument control. Suitable for cardiovascular, general, orthopedic, and plastic surgery workflows, this scissors design supports precise, task-focused handling without restricting use to one specialty.

Use Cases

• Perform tissue dissection where the 16-inch length supports additional reach into deeper or less direct operative fields.
• Use the curved blades for following tissue planes and supporting controlled dissecting movements.
• Apply in cardiovascular, general surgery, orthopedic, and plastic surgery workflows where a long dissecting scissors format is appropriate.
• Use the blunt tips for routine dissection tasks requiring a less pointed blade profile.
• Handle through the ring configuration for familiar manual control during repeated dissecting motions.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the scissors promptly after use in accordance with facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the curved blades, blunt tips, cutting edges, and ring handle before use for visible residue, damage, or impaired movement.
• Handle the instrument carefully to protect the blade alignment and cutting surfaces during transport, cleaning, and storage.
• Store in a clean, dry environment with the blades protected from contact with other instruments.
