Metzenbaum Nelson Scissors sh/bl str 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for fine dissection and controlled cutting of delicate soft tissues, this Metzenbaum–Nelson pattern instrument is suited to general, plastic, ENT, gynecologic and other soft-tissue procedures where precision and minimal tissue trauma are required. The sharp/blunt tip combination allows the surgeon to perform precise incisions with the sharp edge while using the blunt side to protect underlying structures during separation and mobilization of tissue planes.

Design & Configuration

The long shank-to-blade ratio characteristic of Metzenbaum-style scissors provides reach into deeper planes while keeping the cutting edge distal and delicate. A straight geometry offers direct line-of-sight control for superficial or easily accessible dissections. The sharp/blunt tip configuration combines a sharpened cutting point for precise tissue division with a blunt opposing tip to reduce the risk of inadvertent penetration of underlying structures during blunt dissection.
