Metzenbaum Scissors sh/sh str 14.5cm

Clinical Application

Metzenbaum scissors are designed for the dissection and cutting of delicate soft tissues. The straight, sharp/sharp configuration is optimized for precise sharp dissection and trimming of subcutaneous tissue, fascial planes, and similar structures where controlled cutting is required. The 14.5 cm length provides moderate reach and control for procedures performed in superficial and mid-depth surgical fields. Common users include general surgeons, plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, and operating room teams performing routine soft-tissue dissections.

Design & Configuration

The Metzenbaum pattern features relatively long, slender shanks with short, fine blades; this geometry separates the operator's hands from the working tip to improve visibility and access while reducing inadvertent trauma to surrounding tissue. A straight blade orientation enables direct, tactile control during surface and near-surface dissections. The sharp/sharp tip configuration delivers precise cutting edges for clean, controlled incisions and fine trimming—beneficial when separating delicate tissue planes or excising small amounts of tissue. Ring handles provide ergonomic control and reliable tactile feedback for fine work.
