Enterotomy Scissors 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in gastrointestinal surgery, these scissors are intended to create and extend enterotomies and to perform controlled cutting of bowel tissue and suture during open abdominal procedures. The 21 cm length gives the operator reach for working in the abdominal cavity while maintaining hand control for delicate tissue handling. Typical clinical settings include general surgery, colorectal procedures, stoma formation and revision, and bowel repair during trauma or elective operations.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's scissor geometry provides a balance between length and control: a 21 cm overall length increases access into the cavity without excessive shaft flex, while traditional ring handles and a box-lock pivot deliver tactile feedback and consistent blade alignment for precise cutting. The blade profile is shaped to permit clean, sharp incisions with minimal crushing of adjacent tissue, supporting accurate enterotomy creation and extension.
