Description

Sklarlite 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. The Sklarlite Sklarhone combination provides the surgeon with a lightweight, precision instrument that allows the user to make the sharp incisions of a knife with the cutting ability of scissors, all while having greater control and experiencing less fatigue. This instrument is identified by dual black finger rings. This product is straight, has a smooth, razor edge with two blunt tips, and an overall length of 9 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors suitable for deep cavity procedures?

Yes, the 9-inch length of these scissors is specifically optimized for deep cavity access, making them an excellent choice for bariatric surgeries like gastric bypass or banding, as well as urological procedures such as nephrectomy and prostatectomy.

How do these scissors help reduce hand fatigue?

These instruments feature Sklarlite construction, an extra-lightweight design engineered to minimize surgeon fatigue during long or complex operations, allowing for greater comfort and control.

What is the benefit of the dual cutting edge design?

The combination of one smooth razor edge and one standard edge provides versatility. This unique configuration allows the surgeon to perform sharp, knife-like incisions while maintaining the precise control offered by traditional scissors.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, these scissors are not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring they are a safe option for medical environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.

Do these scissors require specific sterilization procedures?

The scissors are delivered non-sterile. They must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for reusable stainless steel surgical instruments prior to first use.

Is the tip design safe for delicate tissue separation?

The scissors feature a Blunt/Blunt (B/B) tip configuration, which is specifically designed to facilitate controlled tissue separation while reducing the risk of accidental punctures.

Is this a high-quality, professional-grade instrument?

Absolutely. These scissors are categorized as Sklar Premium Grade and are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, reflecting their durability and surgical-grade standards.

Are these scissors recommended for cutting heavy materials?

These scissors are precision instruments designed for tissue dissection. They are not recommended for cutting non-tissue items such as sutures or drains, as this can dull the specialized razor-edge blades.

How can I easily identify these scissors during surgery?

The instrument is designed for quick recognition with its distinctive dual black finger rings, which stand out against the stainless steel body to help surgeons easily identify them on a crowded instrument tray.

Is this a compliant product for government medical contracts?

Yes, these surgical scissors are TAA (Trade Agreements Act) Compliant, making them suitable for procurement in government-affiliated medical facilities and hospitals.
