Technical Specifications

Available Size Variations

12 cm Metzenbaum Curved TC Scissors — SKU: SM-09285-12 TC

The compact 12 cm version is designed for controlled handling in procedures where a shorter instrument is preferred. Its smaller overall length offers convenient maneuverability when performing delicate soft tissue dissection in accessible or confined operative areas.

15 cm Metzenbaum Curved TC Scissors — SKU: SM-09285-15TC

The 15 cm version provides a versatile balance between working reach and manual control. It is a practical option for general soft tissue dissection where a standard-length curved surgical scissor is preferred.

18 cm Metzenbaum Curved TC Scissors — SKU: SM-09285-18 TC

The 18 cm version provides additional instrument reach for procedures requiring access to deeper operative areas. The longer profile supports controlled soft tissue dissection while maintaining the characteristic curved Metzenbaum blade design.

Surgical Applications & Intended Usage

1. General Surgery

Metzenbaum scissors are commonly used for careful dissection and cutting of delicate soft tissues during general surgical procedures. Their slender blades are intended for fine tissue work rather than heavy-duty cutting.

2. Soft Tissue Dissection

The curved cutting profile helps surgeons dissect soft tissue and work around anatomical contours where precision and controlled blade placement are important.

3. Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

These scissors may be selected for appropriate delicate soft tissue dissection tasks during reconstructive and plastic surgical procedures, subject to the instrument's intended use and the clinician's technique.

4. Gynecological Procedures

Curved Metzenbaum scissors are used in suitable gynecological surgical procedures where controlled cutting or dissection of soft tissues is required.

5. Other Surgical Specialties

Depending on the surgical procedure, selected instrument length, and clinician preference, Metzenbaum scissors may be useful in other specialties requiring fine soft tissue dissection.

How to Select the Appropriate Length

• 12 cm: Best suited to applications where compact instrument handling and shorter working reach are preferred.
• 15 cm: Offers a balanced length for general-purpose delicate surgical dissection.
• 18 cm: Provides additional reach for accessing deeper or less accessible surgical areas.

Select the appropriate size based on the procedure, operative depth, tissue characteristics, and healthcare professional's preference.

Cleaning, Sterilization & Instrument Care

Inspect the scissors before each use to confirm proper blade alignment, smooth joint movement, cutting performance, and the condition of the tungsten carbide inserts.

After use, follow the manufacturer's validated reprocessing instructions. Remove surgical residue promptly, clean the blades and joint thoroughly, rinse as specified, and dry before further processing.

Apply instrument-compatible lubrication to the pivot joint when required by the applicable maintenance procedure. Use an appropriate validated sterilization cycle and inspect the instrument before returning it to service.

Avoid cutting hard materials, wire, or other objects outside the instrument's intended use, as doing so may damage the precision cutting surfaces and tungsten carbide inserts.
