Description

Sklar Metzenbaum-Nelson Bariatric Scissors are long dissecting scissors most commonly used in Bariatric Surgeries such as gastric bypass, gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy. They are also used in Nephrectomy, Cystectomy, and Prostatectomy procedures to dissect and cut tissue. Metzenbaum-Nelson scissors tend to be longer than standard Metzenbaum scissors which make them ideal for use in thoracic procedures as well. This product has curved, smooth, blunt tips, and an overall length of 14 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors suitable for deep tissue procedures?

Yes, these scissors are specifically engineered for deep tissue dissection. Their 14-inch length provides the extended reach required for complex procedures such as:

  • Bariatric surgeries (gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy)
  • Thoracic operations
  • Urological procedures (nephrectomy, cystectomy, and prostatectomy)
Is the material durable enough for repeated surgical use?

Absolutely. These instruments are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, which is specifically selected for its durability and performance in clinical environments. Being a reusable instrument, it is designed to withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization and surgical application over time.

Do these scissors feature enhanced tracking technology?

Yes, this model is CensiTrac marked. This integration allows for improved identification and asset traceability, helping surgical teams manage their instrument inventory effectively and reliably.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the product is not made with natural rubber latex. It is safe for use with patients who have sensitivities or allergies to latex.

How should I describe the blade design for delicate work?

These scissors feature a smooth working edge style. This design is intentionally crafted to provide precision and control, making them ideal for the careful, delicate dissection of tissues often required in major surgical procedures.

Does the blunt/blunt tip design improve procedural safety?

The blunt/blunt tip configuration is a key safety feature. By eliminating sharp points at the distal end, the scissors help prevent accidental puncture or damage to surrounding structures while the surgeon performs deep tissue dissection.

Are these scissors compliant with federal procurement standards?

Yes, this product is Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant, meeting the necessary regulatory standards for government procurement and medical supply contracts.

How ergonomic is the handle for long procedures?

The scissors feature traditional finger rings designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip. This ergonomic design is intended to assist the surgeon in maintaining precise control during extended periods of use.

Do these scissors come ready for immediate surgical use?

The scissors are supplied non-sterile. They must undergo proper cleaning and sterilization protocols according to your facility’s institutional standards before they can be used in a surgical setting.

Is the curved design helpful for specific surgical angles?

The curved-on-flat configuration is essential for navigating around anatomical structures. This geometry allows the surgeon to work around organs or tissues more effectively than straight scissors, providing the necessary clearance for precise dissection.
