Mayo TC Operating Scissors — Curved, 23 cm (23.0 cm)

Reference SC 02-806-03: Mayo TC Operating Scissors — Curved, 23 cm (23.0 cm). The curve angles the working tip away from the line of sight, the standard geometry for dissection in confined fields. Tungsten-carbide tip inserts extend service life roughly ten-fold versus plain stainless and retain grip integrity through hundreds of autoclave cycles.

The Mayo brothers — William James and Charles Horace — founded what became the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and lent their family name to a remarkable number of surgical instruments. Mayo scissors, the most common of the family, are heavy curved or straight dissecting scissors with thick blades for cutting fascia, suture, and tough tissue. The 14 cm and 17 cm lengths are most used. Mayo’s design philosophy emphasized robustness over delicacy: these are workhorses meant to outlast decades of autoclave cycles in a busy operating theatre. Curved Mayo scissors handle blunt and sharp dissection through fascial planes; straight Mayos are preferred for cutting suture and prepared tissue.

Sialkot has been the world’s primary cluster for surgical-instrument manufacturing since the late nineteenth century, when local steel workshops began supplying instruments to British military and civilian hospitals. Fizza Surgical’s facility continues that tradition, combining workshop craftsmanship with the metallurgy and quality systems modern medical regulation requires. Fizza products are exhibited at international medical-device trade fairs in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
