Debakey Surgical Scissors Curved 17.1 cm (6.7)

Controlled Cutting and Practical Reach for Surgical Workflows

DeBakey endarterectomy scissors are 6 3/4-inch surgical scissors intended for controlled cutting during endarterectomy-related and other general surgical tasks. Slightly curved blades support access and working visibility where a straight profile may be less convenient, while blunt tips help support careful instrument handling around the operative field. The ring handle provides a familiar grip for opening and closing the scissors with measured control. Their specialty-neutral design can fit cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows when the task calls for a longer, curved scissor profile and blunt-ended blade design.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled cutting tasks associated with endarterectomy procedures.
• Apply the slightly curved blade profile when working through an access angle that benefits from curved scissors.
• Use the 6 3/4-inch length to support reach within the operative field.
• In cardiovascular surgery, use for applicable cutting steps where a curved, blunt-tip scissor design is appropriate.
• In general surgery and plastic surgery, use for task-specific cutting that benefits from ring-handle control and curved blades.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the scissors according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the curved blades, blunt tips, pivot, and ring handles before use for visible damage, residue, or restricted movement.
• Handle the blades carefully during transport, cleaning, and storage to help protect the cutting edges and maintain instrument condition.
• Store in a manner that prevents the scissors from contacting or being damaged by other instruments.
