Enterotomy Scissors Hook Tip 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for gastrointestinal procedures requiring precise, controlled opening of the intestinal wall, this instrument is used to create or extend enterotomies, inspect luminal contents, or access intestinal lumen for anastomosis and foreign-body removal. The hook tip permits the surgeon to engage and elevate bowel layers before cutting, reducing the risk of inadvertent penetration of the posterior wall and allowing safer, more controlled mucosal or partial-thickness incisions.

Design & Configuration

The hook-tip geometry provides a small, atraumatic point that can be used to lift and tent tissue, isolating the intended cutting plane and improving visualization during incision. At 21 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach within the abdominal cavity with tactile control at the tips, facilitating delicate maneuvers in open and limited-access procedures. The scissor action gives direct mechanical feedback to the operator for precise incremental cutting.
