Mayo Scissors str 15cm

Clinical Application

Straight Mayo scissors, 15 cm, are a general-purpose surgical cutting instrument intended for controlled division of relatively dense or fibrous soft tissues (for example fascia), removal of dressings, and cutting sutures. The straight blade orientation is optimized for surface or superficial tissue cutting and for use in surgical instrument trays where direct, linear cuts and suture management are required. This size (15 cm) is a common, versatile length suited to general surgery, ambulatory procedures, minor operating-room cases, and clinics.

Design & Configuration

The straight blade geometry provides a flush cutting plane that aids precise, linear cuts and efficient suture trimming. Ring handles give the operator tactile control and leverage for deliberate cutting; a stable hinge design maintains blade alignment under repeated use. Compared with curved patterns, straight blades offer improved visibility of the cutting edge and are easier to use for dressing changes and superficial tissue tasks.
