Waldmann Episiotomy Scissors

Description

Waldmann Episiotomy Scissors

Waldmann episiotomy scissors make the perineal incision during vaginal delivery. You can choose 18 cm or 20 cm to suit the clinicians who will use them.

What an episiotomy involves

An episiotomy widens the vaginal opening with a planned cut in the perineum. So the clinician needs a pair that cuts cleanly in one motion. Then repair can follow once the baby arrives.

18 or 20 cm

The 18 cm pair keeps the tips close to the hand. By contrast, the 20 cm pair adds a little reach. Therefore you can match the length to your clinicians’ preference.

A named obstetric pattern

The Waldmann pattern belongs to the family of scissors made for obstetrics. Also, it pairs with cord scissors in a delivery set. Plus, a dedicated slot in the set keeps it easy to find when the moment comes.

Ordering Waldmann episiotomy scissors

Order one pair of Waldmann episiotomy scissors for each delivery set. Meanwhile, add a spare for every few sets so reprocessing never leaves a gap. That way each birth has the right pair ready.

Cleaning Waldmann episiotomy scissors

Treat the blades gently, since a nicked edge can tear rather than cut. First, rinse and scrub them after each birth. Then inspect, dry and pack them with the tips protected.
