SCHMIEDEN-TAYLOR/FRAZIER Dural Scissors 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled incision and trimming of the dura mater during craniotomy, cranial microdissection, and select spinal procedures. The instrument's slender profile and fine tips facilitate precise cutting in narrow operative corridors, helping surgeons make atraumatic dural openings and perform delicate tissue separation under magnification.

Design & Configuration

The Schmieden‑Taylor / Frazier pattern combines a long, slender shank with fine cutting jaws to provide reach into deep or confined surgical sites while maintaining tactile feedback at the tips. This geometry minimizes soft-tissue retraction and improves line-of-sight to the target tissue, which is particularly valuable in neurosurgical approaches where small, accurate cuts are required.
