Metzenbaum Surgical Scissors – Curved, 15.5cm Stainless Steel

Metzenbaum scissors are specialized surgical tools designed for cutting delicate tissues and performing blunt dissection. They are commonly used in organ-related surgeries, particularly for incising the deep periosteal layer of the rib bed while staying extrapleural. For retropleural dissection, techniques such as finger, sponge, and Kittner dissection are employed to elevate and separate the parietal pleura from the periosteal layer.

Features of Metzenbaum Scissors:

Design: Metzenbaum scissors are characterized by a relatively long shank-to-blade ratio, making them ideal for precise tissue dissection.
Construction: Made from high-quality stainless steel, some models feature tungsten carbide inserts on the cutting edges for enhanced durability and performance.
Blade Type: The scissors come in both straight and curved blade configurations, with blunt tips for safer handling in delicate procedures.
Cutting Edges: One edge is smooth, while the other is finely serrated for a better grip on tissues.
Identification: The thumb rings are coated in gold for easy identification.
