Clinical Application
Designed for precise division of delicate soft tissues, these tenotomy scissors are used for fine dissection, cutting sutures, and performing small tenotomy maneuvers in confined operative fields. Typical applications include ophthalmic procedures, otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, and other specialties requiring controlled, atraumatic cutting of thin tissue planes.
Design & Configuration
The straight, sharp/sharp blade configuration yields a very fine cutting edge at the tips for exact tissue apposition and controlled shearing. Straight geometry provides direct line-of-sight access in shallow to moderate-depth fields and facilitates precise tip placement for short, controlled cuts. Sharp/sharp tips permit clean incisions and minimal tissue crushing compared with blunter jaw patterns, which is important when working near delicate structures.

Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance, durability, and reliable edge retention appropriate for reusable instruments. The blades are finished to a precise cutting geometry to maintain consistent performance through routine sterilization and use cycles. The overall construction balances rigidity for control with fine blade geometry for atraumatic dissection.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
