Sklarhone Stevens Tenotomy Scissors, Curved
A curved 4-1/2 inch Stevens tenotomy scissors from Sklarhone with blunt/blunt tips and a razor edge, used for very fine surgical dissection in hospitals and clinics.
The Sklarhone Stevens Tenotomy Scissors are a curved 4-1/2 inch instrument with blunt/blunt tips, finished under Sklar's Sklarhone line which combines one razor sharpened edge with one standard edge on the opposing blade. This edge combination is intended to give an especially clean, sharp cut on one side while the standard edge on the other side helps stabilise tissue during the cutting motion, a finishing approach some surgeons prefer for very fine work such as ophthalmic, plastic or paediatric procedures where tissue quality after cutting matters greatly.
The curved profile and blunt tips follow the classic Stevens tenotomy design, allowing the surgeon to dissect thin tissue planes safely close to delicate structures without risking a puncture injury. As a specialty fine scissors, it is typically kept in a dedicated ophthalmic or plastic surgery tray rather than a general instrument set.
Manufactured by Sklar, the razor edge requires careful handling to protect its sharpness and should be cleaned and sterilised between cases following standard reprocessing protocol. Fine surgery units across the UAE commonly stock this Sklarhone finished Stevens pattern for delicate dissection work.
