Controlled Dissection and Reach Across Surgical Workflows

Metzenbaum dissecting scissors are surgical scissors designed for controlled dissection and tissue separation. This 14-inch instrument combines curved blades with blunt tips to support reach and maneuverability when working within general surgery, orthopedic, and plastic surgery workflows. The extended length can help position the hands farther from the operative field while maintaining access to the area being addressed, and the curved profile supports an adaptable cutting approach around anatomical contours. As a dedicated dissecting instrument, it is suited to professional settings where deliberate handling, clear instrument identification, and consistent technique are important.

Use Cases

• Support controlled tissue dissection in general surgery workflows where extended reach is useful.
• Assist with dissection tasks in orthopedic procedures requiring a longer curved instrument profile.
• Provide a dedicated option for tissue separation in plastic surgery workflows.
• Use the curved blades to approach areas where a straight scissor profile is less suitable.
• Use the blunt tips when a non-sharp terminal design is preferred for the intended dissection task.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the scissors according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the curved blades, blunt tips, and pivot area before and after use for visible soil, damage, or impaired movement.
• Handle the blades carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the cutting edges and instrument surfaces.
• Store the scissors in a manner that protects the curved blades and prevents contact damage from other instruments.
