Satinsky Lobectomy Scissors

Satinsky Lobectomy — Philadelphia Cardiothoracic

Victor P. Satinsky (1912-2005), the Philadelphia cardiothoracic surgeon who invented the Satinsky vena-cava partial-occlusion clamp (a defining instrument in cardiac and vascular surgery), lent his name to a heavier lobectomy scissor with side-curve geometry suited to the Satinsky-clamp companion-instrument concept. Reference Satinsky handles vena-cava cuff trim during right-pneumonectomy when caval involvement requires Satinsky-clamp control, partial-aortic-clamp coronary work, and pulmonary-vein cuff during atrial sleeve resection.
