Description

Sklarlite 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 variable tip styles. The long, finger ring 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. Sklarlite instruments are a lighter version of standard Sklar instruments. A unique manufacturing process developed by Sklar shaves microns off standard and delicate pattern instruments while maintaining structural integrity and durability. This lightweight modification provides the surgeon with greater control and less fatigue. This product is curved with smooth, blunt/blunt tips, and a length of 4-1/2 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Does the extra light design affect overall durability?

Not at all. The Sklarlite construction process is specifically engineered to reduce weight by shaving microns from the instrument body without compromising its structural integrity. You get the benefits of a lightweight, ergonomic tool while maintaining the premium-grade durability expected from Sklar instruments.

Are these scissors suitable for extended surgical procedures?

Yes, they are specifically designed to mitigate hand fatigue. The combination of the extra-lightweight profile and the ergonomic, long finger ring handles provides superior control and comfort, making them an excellent choice for long, delicate procedures.

Why are blunt tips preferred for mucus membrane dissection?

Blunt/Blunt (B/B) tips provide a safer profile compared to sharp-tipped instruments. This design helps prevent accidental punctures or lacerations to surrounding delicate tissues, allowing for more controlled and precise dissection of mucus membranes.

What material is used to ensure these remain rust-resistant?

These scissors are manufactured from high-quality, professional-grade stainless steel. This material is chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and ability to withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization cycles in a clinical environment.

How does the curved blade assist in complex surgeries?

The curved configuration is specifically designed to provide better visibility and access when operating in small or narrow anatomical spaces, allowing the surgeon to navigate around structures that might otherwise be difficult to reach with straight instruments.

Is this instrument safe for use if I have a latex allergy?

Yes, you can use these with confidence as they are not made with natural rubber latex.

Are these considered reusable medical instruments?

Yes, these are designed as reusable instruments. They are manufactured to Sklar’s premium standards to ensure they remain functional and reliable through long-term professional use.

Do these meet specific government procurement standards?

Yes, this instrument is TAA compliant, meeting the requirements for Trade Agreements Act compliance.

Are these scissors effective for plastic surgery applications?

Absolutely. Their slender, lightweight design and smooth cutting edges make them ideal for the high-precision, delicate tissue manipulation required in plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and neurology.

Does the instrument arrive ready for immediate use?

These scissors are supplied non-sterile, so they must undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocol before being introduced into a surgical field.
