Waldmann Episiotomy Scissors 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for obstetric use, these scissors are intended to facilitate controlled perineal incision and tissue division during vaginal delivery and to assist in subsequent perineal repair. The 18 cm length provides reach and handling balance for the delivering clinician while maintaining tactile feedback for precise cutting of skin and subcutaneous tissue layers.

Design & Configuration

Ring handles deliver conventional two-handed control and familiar ergonomics for obstetric providers. The overall length provides a balance of reach and maneuverability at the perineum; this helps the operator maintain line of sight while creating a controlled incision. The scissor architecture supports precise tip alignment and smooth cutting action that are important when working in a confined field and when preparing for suturing and repair.
