Debakey Surgical Scissors 17.1 cm (6.7)

Angled Precision for Controlled Surgical Cutting

The 6 3/4" Debakey-Potts Scissors 45° are surgical scissors intended for controlled cutting and incision work where an angled profile can support access and instrument positioning. Their 45° configuration helps align the working ends with the operative field while the 6 3/4" overall length provides practical reach for cardiovascular and general surgery workflows. The Debakey-Potts pattern is suited to precise handling in delicate surgical tasks, supporting measured movements and clear instrument orientation. This design can help teams manage targeted cutting steps efficiently while maintaining appropriate attention to tissue handling, visualization, and the requirements of the procedure.

Use Cases

• Support controlled surgical cutting tasks in general surgery.
• Use the 45° profile to approach selected sites while maintaining a practical instrument angle.
• Apply the scissors in workflows requiring deliberate handling and access to the operative field.
