Enterotomy Scissors probe end 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for gastrointestinal procedures that require precise, controlled incisions of the bowel wall, these scissors are used to create or extend enterotomies during small and large bowel surgery, stoma formation, feeding tube placement, and select exploratory procedures. The probe-ended tip allows the operator to bluntly probe the lumen and guide the cutting action, helping to reduce the risk of inadvertent deep penetration or damage to the opposite bowel wall when performing mucosal or seromuscular incisions.

Design & Configuration

This instrument combines standard scissor cutting mechanics with a probe-ended tip on one blade. The probe end functions as an atraumatic guide and dissector immediately ahead of the cutting edge, so the surgeon can locate or tent the bowel wall before dividing tissue. The 21 cm working length provides reach for intra‑abdominal access through small incisions or standard laparotomy exposure while maintaining tactile control at the handles. The hand-scissor format with a probe tip reduces the need to alternate between separate probing and cutting instruments, streamlining steps in confined operative fields.
