Potts-de Martel Vascular Scissors – Angled Arteriotomy Instrument

The Potts-de Martel vascular scissors are indispensable cardiovascular instruments designed for extending arteriotomy incisions with precision and safety. Featuring blunted tips that protect the posterior vessel wall from perforation, these scissors allow controlled elongation of vascular incisions. Available in multiple angulations (25°, 45°, 60°, 125°), each angle is optimized for specific vessel orientations and surgical approaches.

The Potts-de Martel design has been a cornerstone of vascular surgery for decades, with the blunted tip configuration being the defining safety feature. Unlike sharp-tipped scissors that risk inadvertent posterior wall injury, the Potts-de Martel tips glide safely along the vessel lumen while cutting only the anterior wall. The 190mm length provides versatile reach for both peripheral and central vascular procedures.
