Metzenbaum Scissors

Metzenbaum scissors are delicate surgical instruments, primarily used for dissecting soft and delicate tissues in surgery.
Key Features:

Blades: They have thinner and longer blades compared to Mayo scissors, often with blunt tips, and can be straight or curved. The curved version is frequently used for organ surgery.

Handle/Blade: The handle-to-blade ratio is relatively long.

Material: Made of medical-grade stainless steel, often German AISI 420 or Japanese steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.

Use: Ideal for precise cutting and delicate tissue dissection, including procedures on anatomically vulnerable areas or during ENT, maxillofacial, and cardiac surgery. They are also used to retract tissue without trauma thanks to their blunt tips.

Design: Designed for precision and finesse, allowing for deep incisions inside the body. Their design reduces user fatigue.

Sterilization: Suitable for the prion cycle and sterilizable at high temperatures (e.g., 134°C for 18 minutes).
