Metzenbaum Nelson Scissors sh/bl str 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise dissection and controlled division of delicate soft tissue, this Metzenbaum Nelson scissors combines a long shank with a fine blade profile to reach deeper operative fields while minimizing trauma. The sharp/blunt tip pairing allows the surgeon to puncture or incise with the sharp blade while protecting underlying structures with the blunt tip, making it useful for layered tissue separation, capsule or fascia work, and fine trimming in general, abdominal, gynecologic, ENT, and plastic surgical procedures.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration provides direct line-of-sight cutting and tactile feedback for superficial and midline dissections. A longer overall length (28 cm) increases reach for deeper cavities without requiring excessive hand intrusion into the field, and the Metzenbaum-style long shank-to-blade ratio reduces the force transmitted to delicate tissue for more controlled, atraumatic dissection. The sharp/blunt tip arrangement adds versatility for tasks that alternate between precise cutting and blunt spreading or protection of adjacent structures.
