Description

Sklarhone 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. These scissors are not recommended for cutting sutures or drains. Sklarhone scissors feature one knife-like razor sharp edge and one standard scissor edge. This allows the user to make the sharp incisions of a knife with the cutting ability of scissors. Catching skin and pulls are minimized by the use of Sklarhone premium scissors. Sklarhone instruments are identified by dual black finger rings. This product is straight with serrated blades, blunt tips, and an overall length of 9 inches.
