Mayo Scissors str 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled cutting of dense soft tissues, these straight Mayo scissors are commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, orthopedics and other operative settings where reliable, heavy-duty dissection is required. The straight blade geometry is well suited for superficial and surface-level work—trimming sutures, dividing fascia, and performing light blunt dissection close to wound edges—making the instrument a standard component of procedural trays and instrument sets.

Design & Configuration

The straight blade alignment provides direct, predictable cutting action and improved visibility along the cutting plane, which helps surgeons maintain precise control when working at or near the wound surface. Robust shanks and a box-lock with ring handles deliver tactile feedback and secure blade alignment under load, minimizing lateral play during repeated use. The 16 cm overall length offers a balance of reach and control for both open procedures and routine wound closure tasks.
