Potts-Smith Lobectomy Scissors

Description

Potts-Smith Lobectomy Scissors

Potts-Smith lobectomy scissors are medium-length thoracic dissecting scissors for pleura, adhesions and lung tissue. Both the 18 cm and 19 cm sizes suit adult chest sets.

Medium length

Not every step of a lobectomy happens deep in the chest. So a medium pair suits work nearer the surface. Also, the shorter length gives fine control over each small cut.

Thoracic dissection

Surgeons use these scissors to divide pleura, adhesions and connective tissue. Then longer scissors take over for hilar work. That handoff keeps each cut precise.

Not the vascular version

We also sell angled Potts-Smith cardiovascular scissors for arteries. By contrast, these Potts-Smith lobectomy scissors serve general thoracic dissection. Check the product name carefully when you place an order.

Pairing

Pair this pattern with a long 27 or 28 cm lobectomy scissor for the deep hilar stage. Next, add a fine pair for vessel work. Then the set covers every depth from the pleura to the hilum.

Cleaning Potts-Smith lobectomy scissors

Keep the blades closed when passing and set them down gently. After the case, clean the pivot and blades with warm water and a brush. Finally, dry completely before packing into the tray.
