Sklar Edge TC Kaye Rhytidectomy Scissors, Curved
A four and a half inch curved tungsten carbide scissors used for fine dissection during rhytidectomy and other facial plastic surgery procedures.
The Sklar Edge Kaye Rhytidectomy and Dissecting Scissors is a curved instrument built with tungsten carbide cutting edges, designed for the fine, controlled dissection of skin and soft tissue that facelift, or rhytidectomy, surgery requires. At four and a half inches, it is compact enough for careful work within the confined surgical field around the face and neck, and the curved blade lets the surgeon follow the natural contour of tissue planes during dissection rather than cutting in a straight line.
Tungsten carbide edges give the scissors a sharper, more durable cutting surface than an equivalent plain stainless steel instrument, an advantage given the repeated fine dissection this type of surgery involves over the course of a case. It is used by plastic and reconstructive surgeons and their assistants specifically during rhytidectomy and related facial procedures where a precise separation of tissue layers supports both surgical safety and cosmetic result.
As a tungsten carbide instrument, it is handled with appropriate care while remaining built for repeated sterilisation and continued clinical use.
