Metzenbaum-Nelson Dissecting Scissors — Configuration 5, 23 cm

Met-Nelson C5 23 cm — Liver-Trauma Tractotomy

The 23 cm reach is matched to finger-fracture liver tractotomy — the preferred technique for through-and-through penetrating wounds where the surgeon enters the wound tract, identifies bleeding vessels at depth, and selectively ligates without resecting healthy parenchyma. C5 blade cutting is needed for traversing the friable hepatic parenchyma at depth.

Tractotomy use

• Finger-fracture entry
• Through-and-through penetrating
• Selective vessel identification
