Lincoln Neurosurgical Scissors

Description

Lincoln Neurosurgical Scissors

Lincoln neurosurgical scissors are fine scissors for cutting tissue and dura during neurosurgery. Surgeons use them for delicate cuts where larger scissors would feel clumsy.

A fine operating scissor

Neurosurgical scissors need precise blades and good control. So a moderate length like 18 cm keeps the tips steady in the hand. Also, it suits work near the surface and at moderate depth.

Curved or straight

We offer two versions, both 18 cm. The straight pair cuts directly ahead of the hand. In contrast, the curved blades let the surgeon cut around a structure while keeping the tips in view.

When surgeons reach for them

Typical tasks include opening dura, cutting sutures and trimming soft tissue. For instance, a surgeon may extend a dural opening with the curved version and then cut sutures with the straight one. Many teams keep both.

Choosing a version

If you do mostly straight-line cuts, the straight version may suit you best. However, curved blades help in rounded spaces and near delicate tissue. Tell us about your current scissors, and we will suggest a pair.

Caring for your Lincoln neurosurgical scissors

Rinse the blades open, then brush around the pivot. Next, dry them and lubricate the joint. Finally, sterilize them and send them for sharpening when the cut becomes rough.
