Description

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. Sklarcut scissors feature micro-serrations on one blade to reduce trauma when cutting both delicate and course tissue. These serrations assist in securely holding the tissue during cutting and minimizes tissue from slipping so the most accurate and clean cuts can be made. Sklarcut scissors are identified by a single gold coated finger ring on the handle of the serrated blade.

Frequently asked questions

Does the micro-serrated edge help prevent tissue slippage?

Yes. The Sklarcut micro-serration on one blade is specifically engineered to anchor tissue securely during the cutting process. This design significantly minimizes slippage, allowing for cleaner and more accurate incisions across both delicate and robust tissues.

Are these scissors safe for working near mucus membranes?

Absolutely. These scissors feature blunt/blunt (B/B) tips, which are specifically designed for the dissection and cutting of structures like mucus membranes. This configuration provides a safer approach by minimizing the risk of unwanted tissue penetration.

Is the stainless steel material durable for repeated use?

These instruments are manufactured to Sklar Premium grade standards, ensuring high-quality, durable construction. Because they are designed as a reusable surgical instrument, they are built to withstand the rigors of frequent clinical use.

How can I easily identify which blade has the micro-serrations?

The Sklarcut design includes a visual identification marker: one of the finger rings on the handle is gold-coated. This gold ring indicates which handle corresponds to the micro-serrated blade.

Do the curved blades provide better access in tight spaces?

Yes, the curved blade geometry is intended to offer superior maneuverability and access when performing dissection or cutting within narrow or restricted anatomical spaces.

Are these scissors latex-free for patient safety?

Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex and is completely latex-free, making it suitable for use in environments where latex sensitivities are a concern.

Are these scissors suitable for ophthalmologic or neurological procedures?

These scissors are specifically engineered for high-precision tasks common in specialized surgical settings, including:

Ophthalmology
Neurosurgery
Plastic surgery
They are ideal for procedures that require exceptionally fine tissue manipulation.

Is there a specific way to care for these surgical scissors?

As these are professional-grade, reusable stainless steel instruments, they should be cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for non-sterile surgical instruments.

Do these scissors offer a comfortable grip for long procedures?

Yes, the design includes extended handles which provide the surgeon with an improved grip, better control, and the necessary reach required for delicate micro-procedures.

Does this product meet TAA compliance standards?

Yes, the Sklarcut Stevens Tenotomy Scissors are TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meeting the regulatory requirements often necessary for government or institutional procurement.
