Description

Merit Stevens Tenotomy Scissors are used for delicate dissection and cutting, commonly in ophthalmologic, neurological, and plastic surgery procedures. Tenotomy scissors have long handles and small, sharp blades with sharp or blunt wedge-shaped tips. The long handles allow the surgeon to have an adequate grip and control while dissecting or cutting in small or narrow areas. Stevens tenotomy scissors are available straight or curved and with sharp or blunt tips, in order to accommodate different procedures. Sharp tips allow precise dissection and cutting of delicate tissue, while blunt tipped blades are used more often for dissecting and cutting mucus membranes. Merit instruments are Sklar’s office-grade line of products and most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. These cost effective, high quality instruments are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee. Merit instruments deliver an economical solution for physicians and practices that require quality, durable instruments. This product is curved with smooth, blunt/blunt tips, and a length of 4-1/8 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors suitable for delicate tissue dissection?

Is this instrument built for professional-grade reliability?

Absolutely. These scissors are part of Sklar’s Merit Physician Grade line. They are designed to offer a perfect balance of professional performance and cost-effectiveness, making them an ideal choice for routine in-office surgical procedures.

How does the handle design assist during surgery?

The scissors feature long, ergonomic handles relative to the short blades. This design provides: - Enhanced leverage - Superior tactile control - Improved stability when operating in confined or narrow surgical fields.

Is the steel construction durable enough for repeated use?

Yes, these instruments are crafted from high-quality Pakistan stainless steel. This material is chosen for its longevity and ability to withstand the demands of repeated use in a clinical setting.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this product is 100% free of natural rubber latex, ensuring it can be used safely in your practice without risk of triggering latex-related sensitivities.

How should I handle the non-sterile delivery?

Because these scissors are delivered non-sterile, they must be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized according to your facility’s established protocols for reusable stainless steel surgical instruments before their first use.

Can I rely on these scissors for long-term practice use?

Yes. Sklar provides a 10-year guarantee on these instruments, reflecting their confidence in the manufacturing quality and the durability of the materials used.

Are these effective for ophthalmologic procedures?

Definitely. The curved design and precise blunt tips make these a preferred instrument for specialized medical fields, including ophthalmology, neurology, and plastic surgery, where fine, controlled cutting is essential.

Is the curved blade design helpful for narrow areas?

The curved blade configuration is a key feature that allows the surgeon to maintain better visibility and grip when maneuvering in small, restricted surgical sites where straight blades might be cumbersome.

How are these scissors maintained for optimal performance?

To ensure long-lasting performance: - Follow standard autoclave or chemical sterilization procedures. - Regularly inspect the screw joint for tension. - Use appropriate cleaning agents that are compatible with stainless steel to maintain the finish.
