Sklar Enterotomy Scissors, Probe Point
An eight and a quarter inch scissors with a blunt probe point tip, used to open the bowel wall safely during enterotomy and intestinal surgery.
The Sklar Enterotomy Scissors is designed for opening the wall of the bowel during an enterotomy or other gastrointestinal procedure, where a controlled, safe entry into the intestinal lumen is required without risking injury to the opposite wall of the bowel or nearby structures. Its probe point tip is blunt and rounded, letting the surgeon slide the closed scissors into the bowel or introduce the tip through a small initial opening before extending the incision, reducing the risk of an uncontrolled puncture compared with a sharp-tipped scissors.
At eight and a quarter inches, it offers a practical length for working within the abdominal cavity during bowel surgery. This listing covers two variants of the pattern, giving a facility a choice within the same product line. It is used by general and gastrointestinal surgeons and their assistants during bowel resection, ostomy formation and related procedures.
As a stainless steel instrument, it is built for the repeated cleaning and sterilisation cycles typical of hospital instrument processing.
