Metzenbaum

Long, slim blades and light handles make Metzenbaum scissors a favourite for dissecting soft tissue. Our supplier catalogue lists these Metzenbaum dissecting scissors at 14.5 cm across its gum scissors pages. We offer three options, explained below. A United States inspector snips test material with every pair and feels the joint tension before release.

Why Surgeons Reach for a Metzenbaum

The Metzenbaum pattern has a long handle compared with its short blades. Because of that, the tips move only a little for each movement of the fingers. That gives fine control when separating tissue planes or trimming a flap. In oral and maxillofacial surgery, the 14.5 cm length also keeps your hand out of the field.

The Three 14.5 cm Options

The 14.5 cm Straight option has straight blades; the catalogue lists it as a Metzenbaum-Delicat pattern. It gives a direct cut along your line of sight. The 14.5 cm Curved and pointed edge option, by contrast, has curved blades with pointed tips. So, it follows tissue planes and can start a cut in a tight space. The third option, simply labelled 14.5 cm, appears without a blade description in the catalogue. Therefore, compare its photo with the other two before ordering.

Steel, Sterility and Warranty

These scissors are stainless steel and come to you non-sterile. Before first use, open the blades, clean the joint and run a full sterilization cycle. In addition, Metzenbaum dissecting scissors from us include cover of three years against manufacturing defects in blades and joint alike.

Steel requirements for surgical instruments are listed in the ASTM F899 standard. More dissecting scissors are in our Maxillofacial Surgery Instruments category. To hold tissue while you cut, the Russian Model Tissue Forceps make a dependable partner. Ordering answers live in our FAQs.
