Mixter Operating Scissors

Description

Mixter Operating Scissors

Mixter scissors are a 15.5 cm operating pattern. They come straight or curved.

Straight or curved

Straight blades suit sutures. In contrast, the curved version tracks along tissue layers.

A mid length

At 15.5 cm, the scissors reach moderately deep fields. Also, they stay easy to control.

General use

They cut tissue, sutures and dressings. So they suit general and thoracic trays.

Pairing with a clamp

Surgeons often use Mixter scissors after a Mixter right angle clamp has passed a tie. Then the curved blades trim the suture cleanly close to the knot. Because the length matches the clamp, the hands stay in the same working zone. In addition, the moderate size makes them easy to pass and handle. So they sit well on both general and thoracic sets.

Reprocessing Mixter scissors

Clean the blades and joint after each case. Next, rinse and dry fully. Then store the scissors closed.
