Potts-De Martel Scissors angle to side 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise cutting along vessel walls and controlled extension of arteriotomies, this Potts-De Martel pattern is commonly used in peripheral and cardiovascular vascular procedures where lateral access and fine directional cuts are required. The lateral angulation facilitates working parallel to vessels or grafts, making it useful for arteriovenous access, carotid, femoral and other peripheral arterial repairs, as well as for trimming graft material and sutures in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The side-angled (angle to side) geometry redirects the blade profile lateral to the instrument shaft, improving line-of-sight and approach when working adjacent to a vessel. This configuration allows the surgeon to make longitudinal or controlled tangential cuts without rotating the wrist excessively, reducing the risk of inadvertent injury to surrounding tissue. At 21 cm overall length the instrument provides additional reach for deeper operative sites while maintaining fine-tip control for delicate vascular work.
