McIndoe Lobectomy Scissors

Description

McIndoe Lobectomy Scissors

McIndoe lobectomy scissors bring a familiar dissecting pattern to thoracic work. We stock two lengths, 18 cm and 19 cm, for medium-depth cutting in the chest.

A familiar name

Many surgeons know McIndoe scissors from general and plastic surgery. So this thoracic version feels natural from the first case. Also, it suits surgeons who move between specialties.

What it cuts

Use it on pleura, adhesions and soft connective tissue. However, keep it away from sutures and bone to protect the edges. Dedicated suture scissors and rib shears handle those jobs better.

Where it fits

McIndoe lobectomy scissors cover the medium-depth stage of a lung resection. Meanwhile, longer scissors take the deep hilar cuts. Therefore sets often hold both lengths.

Picking a size

The 18 cm size gives the closest control. Alternatively, the 19 cm size adds a centimeter of reach. Both suit adult thoracic trays, so match whichever size your surgeons already use. Also, both lengths suit a standard thoracic tray.

Reprocessing McIndoe lobectomy scissors

Rinse the scissors straight after use, then open them for cleaning. Brush both blades and the pivot, and check the edges for nicks. Keep them apart from heavier tools so the tips stay aligned.
