Potts-Smith scissors 7 angled 60° blades sharp tips ring handle

Controlled Angled Access for Precise Surgical Cutting

Potts-Smith scissors are surgical cutting instruments designed for controlled tissue and vessel work where an angled approach can support access and visibility. This 7-inch model combines 60º angled blades with sharp tips and a ring handle, helping clinicians position the cutting end while maintaining a familiar scissor grip. Its configuration suits cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows that require deliberate handling around confined or delicate operative fields. The extended length can provide useful reach, while the angled profile helps align the blades with the intended line of dissection or incision without requiring the hand to remain directly over the working site.

Use Cases

• Support controlled cutting and dissection during cardiovascular procedures where an angled instrument profile can aid access around the operative field.
• Use for general surgery tasks requiring sharp-tipped scissors and deliberate manipulation through a familiar ring-handle grip.
• Assist plastic surgery workflows involving precise cutting in areas where blade orientation and working-field visibility are important.
• Apply the 60º angled blades to approach tissue or vessel-related cutting tasks from a more suitable direction than straight scissors may allow.
• Use the 7-inch length when additional reach is helpful for positioning the instrument within the surgical field.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the scissors promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp tips, angled blades, and ring handle for damage, alignment issues, or restricted movement before reuse.
• Handle the sharp tips carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to reduce the risk of accidental contact or instrument damage.
• Store the scissors in a protected position that prevents the blades from striking other instruments.
