Toennis Neurosurgical Scissors

Description

Toennis Neurosurgical Scissors

Toennis neurosurgical scissors are fine scissors for cutting the dura and delicate tissue. Their 18 cm length keeps the surgeon’s hand outside the field while the blades work inside it.

Fine scissors for dura

Once a hook lifts the dura and a knife makes a start, the surgeon extends the opening with scissors. Therefore, Toennis scissors often take on that job. They also cut arachnoid bands and small tissue strands.

Curved or straight

We offer two blade shapes at 18 cm. Curved blades follow a rounded contour, such as the edge of a dural flap. Meanwhile, straight blades give a direct line of cut and a simple sight line.

Where they fit

Most craniotomy sets carry at least two pairs of dura scissors. For example, one curved and one straight pair of Toennis neurosurgical scissors cover most needs. Longer patterns then handle deeper cuts.

Which blade to choose

If you trim along curved margins, choose curved. On the other hand, if you cut in straight lines, choose straight. Many surgeons simply order both so they can switch mid-case.

Caring for your Toennis scissors

Rinse the blades soon after use, then open them fully and brush the joint. Also check that the tips still meet cleanly. Dry the scissors completely before sterilizing, and store them closed to protect the tips.
