Metzenbaum Scissors bl/bl str 14.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate dissection and manipulation of soft tissue, these Metzenbaum scissors are optimized for fine cutting and blunt undermining during procedures where preservation of surrounding structures is critical. Common applications include general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT, gynecologic surgery, and routine soft-tissue work in ambulatory and hospital settings. The blunt/blunt tips reduce the risk of inadvertent puncture when working close to viscera or vessels.

Design & Configuration

The long shank and relatively short cutting blades characteristic of the Metzenbaum pattern provide enhanced reach and precise control while keeping the cutting edge clear of the surgeon’s fingers. The straight configuration favors superficial or easily accessed planes and provides a direct line of sight to the tissue being dissected; blunt/blunt tips facilitate blunt separation and protect deeper structures. The 14.5 cm length is a moderate working size that balances maneuverability with access for routine intraoperative dissection.
