Op-Scissors sh/bl cvd 18.0cm

Clinical Application

These curved operating scissors with a sharp/blunt tip profile are designed for controlled cutting in general and specialty surgical procedures. The combination of a single sharp blade and a blunt opposing blade permits precise division of sutures and soft tissue while minimizing the risk of inadvertent penetration of adjacent structures. The 18.0 cm length provides moderate reach suitable for superficial to mid-depth procedures in general surgery, ENT, plastics, gynecology, and minor orthopedic soft-tissue work.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry improves sightlines and approach angle when working around cylindrical structures or in confined cavities, allowing the surgeon to cut along a curved plane without excessive instrument manipulation. The sharp/blunt tip configuration balances cutting efficiency with a measure of tissue protection: the sharp blade enables precise incisions while the blunt blade reduces the likelihood of unintended puncture. Ring handles with a box-lock pivot provide tactile control and consistent blade alignment for repeatable performance during fine dissection and suture removal.
