Angled Precision for Controlled Surgical Cutting

Potts-Smith scissors are 7-inch surgical scissors designed for controlled cutting where an angled profile and sharp tips support access and visibility. The 90º blade angle helps position the cutting edge within the operative field, while the ring handle provides a familiar grip for deliberate instrument manipulation. Suitable for cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows, this configuration can support precise tissue and material-cutting tasks without requiring the hand to align directly with the cutting path. Their extended length also offers useful reach when working around adjacent structures or within a confined field.

Use Cases

• Support controlled cutting tasks in cardiovascular procedures where an angled blade orientation helps position the instrument within the operative field.
• Use for general surgery cutting work that benefits from sharp tips, a 90º angle, and the reach of a 7-inch instrument.
• Assist plastic surgery workflows requiring deliberate handling and clear access around the cutting area.
• Use the ring handle for familiar scissor manipulation during professional surgical instrument handling.
• Apply the angled profile to help approach cutting areas while maintaining a practical working view.

Care & Handling

• Clean the scissors according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled blades, sharp tips, pivot, and ring handle before and after use for visible damage or impaired movement.
• Handle and store the instrument in a manner that protects the sharp tips and prevents contact with other instruments that could damage the blades.
• Keep the scissors appropriately positioned during handling to reduce the risk of accidental contact with the cutting edges.
