Sklar Edge TC Metzenbaum-Nelson Bariatric Scissors
A long tungsten carbide Metzenbaum-Nelson scissors built for tissue dissection in bariatric surgery, available in lengths from nine to eighteen inches.
The Sklar Edge Metzenbaum-Nelson Bariatric Dissecting Scissors is a longer version of the Metzenbaum dissecting pattern, built for the extra reach that bariatric and other deep abdominal surgery can require, where a standard length scissors may not comfortably reach the tissue plane being worked. Its tungsten carbide cutting edges hold a sharp line through repeated use, an important quality for an instrument that sees extended procedures and correspondingly heavy use over its service life.
This listing covers ten variants, spanning nine, ten, eleven and eighteen inch lengths in curved and straight patterns with delicate tip options, letting a surgical team choose the reach and profile appropriate to a patient's body habitus and the depth of the surgical field. Instruments of this kind are used by bariatric and general surgeons and their assistants during gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and other procedures involving larger patients or deeper access.
As a tungsten carbide instrument, it requires appropriately careful handling while remaining built for repeated sterilisation and continued surgical use.
