POTTS-SMITH Vascular Scissors 19cm (25

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled incisions in vascular surgery, this Potts-Smith pattern scissors is used to create and extend arteriotomies, open vessel walls, and perform fine trimming of vascular tissue. It is applicable in peripheral vascular procedures, vascular access creation and maintenance (e.g., arteriovenous access), and other cases where a precise, angled cut along a vessel wall is required.

Design & Configuration

The Potts-Smith geometry features an angled blade profile that improves access to vessels in confined or tangential operative fields. The ring handles provide tactile control and familiar ergonomics for precise single-handed or two-handed cutting, while the fine-point, angled tips permit accurate initiation and extension of longitudinal arteriotomies without excessive tissue trauma. The overall length supports reach into deeper operative sites while maintaining control at the tips.
