Metzenbaum Scissors str 25cm

Clinical Application

Metzenbaum scissors straight 25 cm are designed for precision cutting and dissection of delicate soft tissues and separation of tissue planes. Their long shank-to-blade ratio provides reach into deeper cavities while keeping the operator's hand away from the operative field, making them suitable for general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, and ENT cases where atraumatic handling is required. These scissors are intended for cutting soft tissue and fine suture work; they are not intended for cutting heavy or dense materials such as wire or thick suture.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration aligns the blades with the instrument's long axis, giving direct control and tactile feedback during precise dissection. The Metzenbaum pattern features relatively long shanks with short, fine blades, which minimizes tissue compression at the cutting edge and reduces trauma. Finger rings sized for standard manual control and a precision joint ensure smooth, consistent scissor action for both blunt and sharp dissection techniques.

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with precision-ground cutting edges to maintain consistent performance through repeated reprocessing cycles. The instrument is designed for repeated sterilization and clinical use; smooth finishes on shanks and finger rings aid cleaning and reduce bioburden retention. A precision joint provides predictable blade alignment and low lateral play.
