Metzenbaum Scissors

Metzenbaum scissors, manufactured by Grena Think Medical, are surgical instruments designed for delicate tissue dissection and blunt dissection. They are characterized by their relatively long shank-to-blade ratio and are available in both curved and straight patterns, with blunt tips to minimize trauma during procedures.

2 Types

  • Straight
  • Curved
Key Features of Metzenbaum Scissors:
  • Delicate Tissue Dissection: Primarily used for cutting and dissecting delicate tissues, they are not suitable for cutting sutures, drains, or heavy tissue. 
     
  • Blunt Dissection: Their blunt tips are designed for separating tissues with minimal trauma. 
     
  • Long Shank-to-Blade Ratio: This design provides better reach and access to deeper tissue layers. 
     
  • Material: Typically made of high-grade stainless steel, with some models incorporating tungsten carbide inserts for enhanced cutting performance and longevity. 
     
  • Configurations: Available in both straight and curved versions to accommodate different surgical needs. 
     
  • Variety of Sizes: Offered in a range of lengths to suit various surgical procedures and anatomical locations. 
     
  • Sharp/Sharp and Serrated Edges: Some models feature sharp/sharp blades with micro serrations on the lower blade for a more secure grip on tissue and reduced slippage, according to Grey Medical. 
     
  • Ergonomic Design: Designed for comfortable handling and precise control during procedures.
