Sklar Dura Scissors, Semi-Sharp Curved
A four and a quarter inch curved scissors with a semi-sharp blade, designed for delicate cutting of dura mater and fine tissue during neurosurgery.
The Sklar Dura Scissors is a small, curved scissors designed for the precise, controlled cutting required when opening or working around the dura mater, the tough membrane covering the brain and spinal cord, during neurosurgical procedures. Its semi-sharp blades allow the surgeon to make deliberate, incremental cuts rather than a single fast stroke, which matters when working close to delicate neural tissue where an uncontrolled cut could cause serious harm.
At four and a quarter inches, the scissors are compact enough for the confined surgical field typical of cranial and spinal procedures, and the curved blade helps the surgeon follow the natural contour of the dura rather than cutting in a straight line. Instruments like this are used by neurosurgeons and their assistants during craniotomy, laminectomy and other procedures where the dura must be opened or repaired.
Manufactured in stainless steel, it is designed for the fine cleaning and sterilisation processes appropriate to delicate microsurgical instruments and for continued reuse across neurosurgical cases.
