Clinical Application
Designed for precise soft-tissue dissection, these Metzenbaum Nelson scissors are used where delicate control and atraumatic technique are required. The curved blade geometry and fine tips facilitate working around vessels, nerves and deeper tissue planes in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT, and other specialties that require meticulous tissue separation and cutting.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s long shank and short, fine curved blades provide reach into confined or deep operative fields while minimizing the need to place the hand close to the tissue. The curved cutting surfaces improve visibility and access around structures, and the sharp/sharp tip configuration offers precise cutting capability for dissecting and dividing delicate tissue with controlled force. The Nelson variant is optimized for tactile feedback and refined tip control during delicate maneuvers.
