Willis John Potts was a paediatric cardiothoracic surgeon at Northwestern who developed the angled scissors for cutting vessels during cardiac surgery — specifically the Blalock-Taussig and Potts shunts in early treatment of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Modern Potts scissors are used wherever angled vascular cuts are needed: vascular anastomosis, aortic surgery, vessel harvesting for coronary bypass, and trauma vascular repair. The defining feature is the angled blade — 25°, 45°, 60°, and 90° angles are all manufactured — letting the surgeon cut a vessel at any required angle without rotating the instrument. Most common in 18–20 cm overall length. Tungsten carbide tips are standard in modern vascular and cardiac sets.
