Debakey Neurosurgical Scissors

Description

Debakey Neurosurgical Scissors

DeBakey neurosurgical scissors are a compact pair for delicate cutting. At 15 cm, they suit shallower parts of cranial and spinal cases, where the surgeon wants fine control close to the surface.

A shorter neurosurgical pair

Long scissors help in deep fields. In contrast, a 15 cm pair feels lighter and more direct near the surface. So many surgeons choose a short pattern for dura edges, soft tissue and trimming work.

The size we stock

We offer one size of DeBakey neurosurgical scissors: 15 cm overall. If you need the blade length or tip width, just ask. We can measure a pair from stock and send you the numbers.

Tasks during the procedure

For instance, the scissors can cut tissue bands, trim the dural edge or divide small strands near the surface. They also help when closing, since the assistant can trim suture ends at a comfortable reach.

Selecting a length

Our neurosurgical scissors run from 15 to 18 cm and beyond. Therefore, match the length to the depth of the field. A short pair and a long pair together cover most needs on a cranial tray.

Caring for your DeBakey scissors

Open the scissors before cleaning so water and brush reach the joint. Afterward, rinse them well and dry them fully. Then sterilize them in an open position, and store them so the tips do not touch other steel.
