Mayo Scissors str 17cm

Clinical Application

Straight Mayo scissors are a workhorse instrument for controlled cutting of relatively dense soft tissues such as fascia, muscle, and connective tissue, and for routine suture cutting. Their robust blade geometry and straight profile make them useful for procedures in general surgery, gynecology, plastic surgery, and within procedural packs for minor orthopedic and soft-tissue cases. The 17 cm length balances cutting reach with tactile control, allowing precise surface cuts and suture management in open procedures.

Design & Configuration

The straight blade configuration provides a flat cutting plane that improves visibility and control when advancing the tips along tissue surfaces or when trimming sutures. The overall length (17 cm) gives sufficient working reach for deeper superficial dissections while maintaining leverage and tactile feedback for accurate cutting. A robust hinge and blade geometry are intended to maintain alignment under load, which is important when cutting denser tissues.
