Metzenbaum TC Dissecting Scissors — Straight Delicate, 18 cm (18.0 cm)

The straight working axis suits midline access and procedures where the surgeon’s line of sight aligns with the instrument shaft. The tungsten-carbide tip inserts resist wear under repeated needle-grip cycles, making this a premium choice for high-volume operating theatres. The Metzenbaum TC Dissecting Scissors — Straight Delicate, 18 cm (18.0 cm) ships under reference SC 02-817-03.

Myron Firth Metzenbaum’s name attaches to the long, slender dissecting scissors used across general, vascular, and thoracic surgery for blunt and sharp tissue dissection. Developed in 1920s Cleveland, Metzenbaum scissors differ from Mayo scissors in their thinner blade profile and longer shaft-to-blade ratio — roughly 2:1 versus Mayo’s 1:1 — making Metzenbaums ideal for deep tissue planes where Mayo’s heavier blade would be cumbersome. The 14 cm, 17 cm, 20 cm, and 23 cm lengths are standard. Curved blades dominate operating-theatre trays; straight Metzenbaums are reserved for specific cuts. Tungsten carbide tipped variants are the long-service option. Surgeons request Mayo for fascia and suture, Metzenbaum for delicate dissection.
