Scissors

Medical scissors are used not only in the operating theatre but also in daily work in a medical practice.

Depending on the application, there is a wide range of scissors with differently shaped blades and edges available to suit every need.

Whether you need curved or straight surgical scissors, a Lister bandage scissors, Iris scissors, a Metzenbaum scissors, or Mayo scissors, Praxisdienst offers the right instrument in high-quality surgical grade stainless steel.

Below, we have compiled an overview of the most popular medical instruments in the “scissors” category for your convenience.

Ligature Scissors

Ligature scissors (suture scissors) are medical scissors designed to easily cut surgical sutures and fine surgical wires.

These scissors feature a notch or hook at the tip of the lower blade, as seen in the Spencer ligature scissors, which is used to lift and hold the suture.

This design allows sutures to be cut quickly and safely without applying tension to the surrounding tissue.

Micro Scissors

Micro scissors, also known as spring scissors, are fine surgical scissors used whenever extremely precise and delicate cuts are required. Unlike conventional scissors, the blades are closed by compressing the spring mechanism, as with the Castroviejo micro scissors. This mechanism also allows micro scissors to be used to operate through small openings in cavities with high precision.

Metzenbaum Scissors

Metzenbaum scissors are a specialised type of surgical scissors featuring extra-long handles for opening and closing short blades. This design allows surgeons to make deep incisions without excessively spreading the jaws, making them ideal for delicate tissue dissection in deeper areas of the body.
