Metzenbaum Scissors str 11.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic cutting and dissection of delicate soft tissues, these scissors are commonly used to separate subcutaneous tissue, fat and fascia, and to refine tissue planes around vessels and nerves. The 11.5 cm overall length provides controlled reach for superficial to mid-depth procedures in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT and minor procedures performed in ambulatory and hospital settings.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides direct line-of-sight cutting and tactile feedback for precise, controlled dissection. The characteristic Metzenbaum proportion—relatively long shank with short, fine blades—keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field while concentrating cutting action at the tips. Ring handles allow standard two-hand control and instrument interchange with other ring-handle instruments in the tray.
