Westcott Surgical Scissors Straight 13.0 cm (5.1)

Controlled Access for Delicate Tissue Handling

Westcott conjunctival scissors are designed for cutting and dissecting delicate tissue where a compact profile and controlled handling are important. This 5 1/8-inch instrument combines straight 16.0 mm blades with blunt tips to support focused work in ophthalmic procedures and other fine tissue workflows. The wide, flat handle provides a practical gripping surface for steady manipulation during general surgery, plastic surgery, and ophthalmic applications. Its compact blade length can help maintain visibility around the operative field while supporting precise, task-oriented cutting and tissue handling without suggesting an exclusive specialty use.

Use Cases

• Cutting and trimming delicate conjunctival tissue in ophthalmic procedures.
• Supporting fine tissue dissection and cutting tasks in general surgery.
• Handling detail-oriented cutting steps in plastic surgery procedures.
• Using the straight blade profile for direct, controlled access in focused operative fields.
• Applying blunt-tipped scissors where a less pointed blade end is preferred for routine tissue handling.
