Clinical Application
Designed for fine, atraumatic soft‑tissue dissection and blunt separation of tissue planes, this curved Metzenbaum Nelson scissors is used to dissect around delicate structures in general, plastic, thoracic, gynecologic and other soft‑tissue procedures. The blunt/blunt tips minimize the risk of inadvertent perforation when performing blunt dissection or when following tissue planes adjacent to vessels and nerves. The 25 cm length provides extended reach into deeper cavities while preserving control at the tip.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s curved blade geometry facilitates visualization and access around curved anatomy and into confined spaces. The Metzenbaum-style long shank relative to blade length gives the surgeon enhanced mechanical advantage and fine tip control for precise dissection. Blunt/blunt tips are intended to separate tissue atraumatically rather than sharply incise, making this configuration suited to blunt dissection and handling of delicate tissue layers. Ring handles provide familiar tactile feedback and ergonomic control for fingertip manipulation.
