Clinical Application
Straight blunt/blunt operating scissors with an 18.0 cm overall length are intended for controlled cutting and blunt dissection in open procedures. The blunt tips reduce the risk of inadvertent puncture when separating tissue planes or working adjacent to delicate structures. Common uses include trimming sutures and dressings, controlled division of superficial soft tissue, and routine instrument sets for general surgery, minor procedures and ambulatory settings.
Design & Configuration
The straight blade geometry delivers predictable, linear cutting action and excellent tip visualization for surface or superficial plane work. Blunt/blunt tip configuration minimizes sharp points that can snag or perforate tissue, making these scissors suitable when a safer tip profile is preferred for dissecting or cutting near vessels and organs. The 18.0 cm length balances reach and manual control: long enough for access in moderate-depth open fields while maintaining fingertip precision for fine cutting tasks.
