Strully Neurosurgical Scissors

Description

Strully Neurosurgical Scissors

Strully scissors are long neurosurgical scissors that surgeons often use to cut the dura. Their length lets the surgeon cut in a deep field while the hand stays well above it.

A dura scissor pattern

Opening the dura calls for controlled cuts that avoid the brain beneath. So neurosurgeons choose the scissors for that step in many cranial cases. They also serve for other soft tissue cuts inside the skull.

Length

We sell one length, 23 cm. The maker’s catalogue lists about 22 cm, so expect a figure close to that. Contact us if you need the blade length, because we do not list it separately.

Where they fit in a cranial tray

A craniotomy tray usually holds dura hooks, dura dissectors and a few scissors. The scissors take on the longer cuts. Meanwhile, shorter fine scissors handle close work on the surface.

Choosing neurosurgical scissors

First, think about how deep you cut most often. Next, consider whether you want a second pair for backup during long cases. If you want a shorter option, look at our Toennis and Olivecrona patterns too.

Caring for your Strully scissors

Rinse the blades after each case and wipe the box joint clean. Then clean the scissors with a soft brush, working the joint open and shut. Dry them fully. Before sterilizing, check that the blades still meet smoothly.
