POTTS-SMITH Vascular Scissors 19cm (60

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate vascular work, this Potts‑Smith pattern scissor provides controlled, precise cutting for arteriotomy extension, trimming vascular grafts, and dissecting small-caliber vessels. The angled distal tip facilitates oblique cuts along the vessel wall and improves access in tight or deep operative fields encountered in peripheral vascular, cardiothoracic, and endovascular-assisted open procedures.

Design & Configuration

Ring handles provide familiar tactile control and mechanical leverage for fine cutting motions. The Potts‑Smith geometry places the cutting blades at an angle to the instrument shaft so the surgeon can cut along a vessel without having to alter hand position or over-manipulate surrounding tissues. The 19 cm shaft length offers extended reach while maintaining direct finger control at the rings, useful when working in deeper pockets or around vascular anastomoses.
