Surgical Scissors 29.2 cm (11.5)

11 1/2" VATS Scissors 5mm Shaft 30mm Blunt Blades

The 11 1/2" VATS Scissors feature a 5mm shaft and 30mm blunt blades for cutting tasks performed through minimally invasive access in surgical workflows. Their extended profile supports reach within the operative field, while the blunt blade design provides a defined tip configuration for controlled instrument handling. Suitable for both cardiovascular and general surgery applications, these scissors help teams work with a purpose-specific instrument rather than adapting a less suitable alternative. The configuration supports organized technique, practical access, and consistent handling during procedures where shaft length and blade geometry matter.

Use Cases

• Perform cutting tasks during VATS procedures using the 5mm shaft configuration.
• Reach into the operative field where the 11 1/2" overall length is appropriate for the workflow.
• Use the 30mm blunt blades for tasks requiring a blunt-tipped scissor configuration.
• Support cardiovascular surgery workflows that call for VATS scissors.
• Support general surgery workflows involving VATS-style scissor handling.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the shaft, blades, and blunt tip before and after use for visible soil, damage, or irregularities.
• Handle the 30mm blades carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the cutting edges and instrument surfaces.
• Store the scissors in a manner that prevents unnecessary contact or impact with other instruments.
