POTTS-SMITH Vascular Scissors 19cm (45

Clinical Application

Designed for vascular procedures that require precise, controlled incisions in vessel walls. The angled blade geometry facilitates longitudinal arteriotomy, extension of an existing vessel slit, and fine cutting during patch angioplasty and vascular repair. Its configuration supports access around curved anatomy and confined operative fields where direct line-of-sight is limited.

Design & Configuration

The pronounced 45° blade angle positions the cutting edges parallel to the vessel wall, improving visibility and allowing the surgeon to approach the vessel at an ergonomic angle without excessive tissue retraction. The fine, pointed blade profile enables accurate initiation and extension of arteriotomies while minimizing collateral trauma. Ring-style handles provide tactile control and familiar scissor mechanics for precise, single-handed cutting maneuvers.
