Sklar Kleinert-Kutz Tenotomy Scissors, Curved 5 Inch
A curved 5 inch tenotomy scissors used in hand and tendon surgery for fine, controlled cutting of soft tissue and fibrous structures.
The Sklar Kleinert-Kutz Tenotomy Scissors is a curved instrument measuring 5 inches, built to a pattern associated with hand surgery and tendon repair work, where cutting must be precise and confined to a small operative field. The curved blade profile allows the surgeon to follow the natural contour of tendons or surrounding fibrous tissue while cutting, giving better control than a straight scissors in these close quarters procedures.
Instruments in this category are used for tasks such as releasing adhesions, trimming frayed tendon edges, or performing fine dissection around tendons and small soft tissue structures in the hand and wrist. Hand surgeons and orthopedic surgeons specializing in upper extremity work are the typical users of a scissors built to this specific pattern.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between cases following standard reprocessing protocols, with the blade tips checked before use to confirm they close cleanly along their length for accurate, low trauma cutting.
