Crafoord Lobectomy Scissors

Description

Crafoord Lobectomy Scissors

Crafoord lobectomy scissors give 30 cm of reach for deep thoracic dissection. Surgeons use them to divide tissue around the lung hilum.

Maximum reach

A 30 cm length reaches structures deep in a large chest. So the surgeon can cut without crowding the wound. Also, the length keeps knuckles clear of the rib spreader and other retractors.

Soft tissue dissection

Use these scissors on adhesions, pleura and connective tissue. However, avoid heavy or bony tissue, which dulls the edges. Keep rib shears on hand for any bone that needs cutting.

Crafoord on a set

Thoracic teams often keep Crafoord lobectomy scissors alongside shorter dissecting scissors. Then each stage of the case has the right length. Plus, one long pair covers most deep work.

Tray space

A 30 cm instrument needs a full-length basket in the sterilization container. Next, lay it flat so the tips do not bend. Meanwhile, keep smaller scissors in their own section.

Reprocessing Crafoord lobectomy scissors

Clean the long blades with a soft brush from pivot to tip. Then flush the pivot under running water to remove hidden tissue. Dry thoroughly and send the scissors for sharpening when cutting feels rough.
