Surgical and medical scissors

Customer information on the area of ​​application of surgical scissors

The surgical scissors represent a powerful model for cutting through tissue parts as well as surgical aids (e.g. drainage tubes, bandages) and sutures. Surgical scissors are used in practically all operations. Surgical scissors are used as "standard scissors" in the outpatient clinic, on the ward and in the doctor's office. Standard scissors are used in both straight and slightly curved forms. A distinction is made between these scissors both in the straight and in the slightly bent model after the cutting blade tips. Variants Models in an upturned form are sometimes referred to as Cooper scissors, named after the English surgeon Astley Paston Cooper. However, this designation only applies to dissecting scissors with curved branches and blunted tips, which are suitable for fine, thin tissue or for exact dissections. The Metzenbaum scissors, named after the surgeon Myron Metzenbaum, are special scissors with a very long handle and relatively short blades. It also enables cuts deep in the body without the surgeon being hampered by excessively opening scissor legs. The Mayo scissors are sturdy scissors, the cutting edges of which face outwards and which are more for thick tissue, e.g. Fascia, is suitable.
