Sklar Metzenbaum Dissecting Scissors, Delicate
A delicate scissors with blunt tips used for careful, fine tissue dissection and cutting during general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Metzenbaum Dissecting Scissors is one of the most recognised scissors patterns in surgery, designed for careful dissection of finer tissue such as fascia, blood vessels and delicate connective tissue where a heavier Mayo scissors would be too coarse. Its slim blades and blunt/blunt tip allow the surgeon to use it for blunt spreading of tissue planes as well as sharp cutting, a versatility that makes it a near universal presence on general, gynaecological, urological and cardiothoracic surgery trays.
The delicate profile offered in this listing further refines the tip and blade for extra fine work, such as separating small vessels or thin tissue layers without unnecessary trauma. Surgeons choose between straight and curved blades depending on whether they need to follow a direct line or a curved tissue plane.
This listing covers both straight and curved configurations at 7 inches, both in the delicate profile. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel for repeated sterilisation and use.
