Metzenbaum 280mm 28cm Straight Sharp/Blunt – Precision Dissecting Scissors for Surgical Tissue Separation

The Metzenbaum scissors feature the classic high shank-to-blade ratio that defines this instrument family, delivering maximum mechanical advantage and exceptional tactile feedback during tissue dissection. Originally developed by Dr. Myron Firth Metzenbaum (1876–1944), a Cleveland otolaryngologist, these scissors remain the most widely used dissecting instrument in organ surgery worldwide. The straight blade configuration provides direct, linear cutting action ideal for superficial tissue layers, suture removal, and precise dissection where a predictable cutting path is essential.

The combined sharp and blunt tip configuration provides versatile functionality — the sharp tip initiates tissue entry while the blunt tip protects underlying structures during dissection, offering a balanced approach for mixed tissue work. At 28cm overall length, this extended-reach instrument is designed for deep abdominal, thoracic, and bariatric surgery where access to deep tissue planes is essential.

Key Features

• Blade Configuration: Straight Sharp/Blunt tips, 280mm (28cm) overall length — classic high shank-to-blade ratio for maximum mechanical advantage
• Material: AISI 420 martensitic German stainless steel, hardened to 54-56 HRC for lasting sharpness and corrosion resistance
• Surface Finish: Mirror-polished satin finish for reduced glare under surgical lighting and resistance to biological adhesion
• Sterilization: Fully autoclavable at 134°C (273°F) — validated for unlimited steam sterilization cycles without degradation of cutting performance
• Ergonomics: Anatomically contoured ring handles with smooth inner bore to prevent glove snagging during rapid instrument exchanges

Clinical Applications

• General surgical tissue dissection and plane development in open procedures
• Gynecological surgery including hysterectomy, myomectomy, and adhesiolysis
• Thoracic procedures requiring careful dissection around pulmonary structures
• Urological dissection for nephrectomy, prostatectomy, and retroperitoneal access
• Orthopedic soft tissue release and capsulotomy during joint procedures
