Clinical Application
Straight Mayo scissors 23 cm are designed for controlled transection of relatively dense soft tissues and for suture cutting during open surgical procedures. Their robust blades and longer length make them suitable for general surgery, gynecologic, plastic, and abdominal cases where precise, forceful cutting of fascia, connective tissue, muscle, and sutures is required. The straight blade profile allows close, flat contact with tissue or suture for predictable shearing.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides a linear cutting plane that surgeons rely on for trimming and transecting tissue close to the wound edge and for efficient suture removal. At 23 cm overall length the instrument offers added reach and mechanical advantage for deeper operative fields or when working across wider exposure. The heavier blade geometry typical of the Mayo pattern resists deformation under torque, helping maintain cutting efficiency when working with dense tissue layers.
