Clinical Application
Designed for precise dissection and cutting of delicate soft tissue, this curved Metzenbaum Nelson scissors provides controlled sharp/blunt cutting in confined or deep operative fields. The combination of a single sharp blade and a single blunt blade facilitates atraumatic separation of tissue planes while allowing deliberate incisions when required. Typical uses include fine dissection during general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT, and other specialties where delicate tissue handling and reach are important.
Design & Configuration
The curved blade geometry follows natural tissue planes and enhances visibility when working around structures. A sharp/blunt configuration places a cutting edge on one side while the opposing blunt blade protects adjacent tissue and reduces the risk of unintended penetration. At 23 cm overall length, the instrument offers extended reach for deeper cavities or working through small incisions while maintaining tactile control through ring handles and a box-lock hinge.
