Church Neurosurgical Scissors

Description

Church Neurosurgical Scissors

Church scissors are neurosurgical scissors for cutting dura and other fine tissue. Neurosurgeons use them to open the dura and trim soft tissue during cranial and spinal surgery.

Scissors for the dura

Opening the dura calls for precise, controlled cuts. Therefore, neurosurgical scissors have slim blades that slide under the membrane. As a result, the surgeon can cut without damaging the tissue beneath.

Curved or straight

We sell Church scissors in an 18 cm size with curved or straight blades. The curved version follows curved lines, such as a dural flap edge. Meanwhile, the straight version suits direct, linear cuts.

Use in surgery

For example, after a craniotomy the surgeon first tents the dura on a fine hook. Then the scissors extend a small opening along the planned line. They also appear in our general scissors range because of their broader use.

Choosing the blade shape

Think about the cuts you make most often. If you usually open in a curve, choose the curved version. Otherwise, the straight blades give a simple, direct cut. Many teams keep both.

Caring for your Church scissors

Rinse blood from the blades right after use. Next, clean the pivot with a small brush and open the scissors while drying. Finally, protect the tips during sterilization to keep them sharp.
