Cottle dorsal scissors 6 heavy angled shanks straight blades blunt tips ring handle

Controlled Access for Precise Surgical Cutting

Cottle dorsal scissors are surgical scissors intended for controlled cutting and dissection where dependable handling and access matter. This 6-inch design combines heavy construction with angled shanks to support a deliberate approach in ENT, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows. Straight blades provide a familiar cutting profile, while blunt tips help support careful instrument handling around the operative field. The ring handle allows standard finger control during repeated opening and closing. Their balanced design makes them a practical choice for tasks requiring reach, stability, and consistent manipulation without introducing unnecessary instrument changes.

Use Cases

• Support dorsal cutting and dissection tasks in ENT procedures where angled shanks can help position the instrument through the operative field.
• Provide a substantial scissors option for general surgery workflows involving controlled cutting and tissue dissection.
• Assist plastic surgery teams with deliberate trimming and dissection tasks that benefit from a 6-inch reach and ring-handle control.
• Use the straight blades for familiar scissor manipulation when a blunt-tipped instrument profile is preferred for routine handling.
