Clinical Application
Designed for use in obstetric and gynecologic procedures, these scissors are used to create and refine episiotomy incisions and to trim perineal and vaginal tissue during delivery and postpartum repair. The instrument facilitates controlled, precise cutting during midline or mediolateral episiotomy and is also useful for perineal edge debridement and tissue preparation prior to suturing.
Design & Configuration
The 24 cm overall length provides a balance of reach and tactile control for clinicians working in the delivery setting. The classic episiotomy scissor pattern offers predictable blade alignment and shear for controlled incisions and trimming. Handle length and geometry support ergonomic finger placement and leverage, helping operators maintain a consistent cutting angle in confined surgical fields.
