Mayo-Harrington Dissecting Scissors

Description

Mayo-Harrington Dissecting Scissors

Mayo-Harrington scissors are long, slender dissecting scissors. They come in 22.5 and 30 cm.

Two lengths

The 22.5 cm size reaches most deep abdominal work. However, the 30 cm size goes deeper still.

Straight or curved

Straight blades suit a direct line. By contrast, curved blades follow tissue planes.

Slender shanks

The long, narrow shanks leave room for other instruments. So the view stays clear.

Working deep

Rest your forearm where you can, because long scissors magnify small movements. Then close the blades in short strokes near vessels. Also, keep the tips in view as you cut. As a result, the dissection stays controlled at depth. In addition, the long, slim shanks leave room for retractors and clamps. So the pair suits deep pelvic approaches where standard scissors fall short.

Reprocessing Mayo-Harrington scissors

Long shanks can bend if dropped, so handle the scissors with care. Clean the blades and joint, dry them fully, then store them flat.
