Dandy Neurosurgical Scissors

Description

Dandy Neurosurgical Scissors

Dandy neurosurgical scissors are fine scissors for cranial and spinal work. Surgeons reach for them when they need to cut dura, arachnoid bands or small soft tissue under close control.

Why a neurosurgical pattern

Brain and spine surgery happens in narrow, deep fields. So the scissors need slim blades and enough length to keep the hand clear of the view. The Dandy pattern answers that need in an 18 cm size.

The 18 cm length

We offer these scissors in one 18 cm length. That reach suits most dural openings and many spinal cases. However, if your team needs exact blade dimensions, contact us and we will send them.

Where they fit in the case

Once the bone flap is out, the dural opening follows. For instance, a small nick with a knife can start the incision, and then the scissors extend it. They also trim tissue later in the procedure.

Choosing among neurosurgical scissors

Our range includes several named patterns with different lengths. First, decide how deep you usually work. Next, compare the 18 cm Dandy neurosurgical scissors with the shorter patterns in the set, and ask us whenever you are unsure.

Caring for your Dandy scissors

Keep these scissors for tissue only, since wire or heavy suture can dull the edges. Clean them open, with the blades apart, so debris does not stay in the joint. Then dry them well before sterilization.
