Metzenbaum dissecting scissors 14 straight blades blunt tips ring handle

Long-Reach Dissection with Controlled, Comfortable Handling

The Metzenbaum dissecting scissors are 14-inch surgical scissors designed for dissection, with straight blades, blunt tips, and a ring handle. Their extended length supports access to deeper or less immediately accessible operative fields while the straight blade profile provides a familiar cutting and dissection approach. The blunt-tip design is suited to workflows where controlled tissue handling is important, and the ring handle supports conventional instrument manipulation. This versatile configuration can fit dissection tasks across cardiovascular, general surgery, orthopedic, and plastic surgery settings, helping teams maintain a consistent technique across varied procedural environments.

Use Cases

• Performing controlled dissection during general surgery procedures where extended instrument reach is useful.
• Supporting cardiovascular surgical workflows that require a long dissecting instrument for access within the operative field.
• Handling dissection tasks in orthopedic procedures using a straight-blade, ring-handle instrument.
• Applying to plastic surgery dissection workflows where blunt tips and familiar scissor handling support careful instrument control.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the scissors according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the straight blades, blunt tips, and ring handle before and after use for visible damage, residue, or impaired movement.
• Handle the instrument carefully to protect the blade edges and avoid contact with other instruments during transport and storage.
• Store the scissors in a clean, dry area where the blades and ring handle are protected from impact or distortion.
