Metzenbaum Scissors sh/bl str 14.5cm

Clinical Application

Precision scissors for delicate soft-tissue dissection and blunt separation. This straight Metzenbaum configuration is used to isolate and divide fascial planes, adipose tissue, and other delicate tissues in procedures across general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, and minor soft-tissue cases. The sharp/blunt tip combination allows for controlled cutting with the sharp edge and atraumatic probing or spreading with the blunt edge.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's Metzenbaum geometry—long shank with relatively short blades—provides reach and tactile control while reducing the risk of inadvertent trauma to deeper structures. The straight orientation gives direct line access for superficial and surface-plane dissections, improving visibility and precision in confined operative fields. The sharp/blunt tip supports both precise sharp cutting and safe blunt dissection without changing instruments.
