Description

The Mayo Easy-Cut Scissors are used for tissue cutting and dissection in plastic, reconstructive, maxillofacial, and general surgery. They have a sturdy build and are suited to situations where the scissors need to handle regular tissue cutting while still giving the surgeon enough control for more careful work.

The blades have a micro-serrated cutting edge. This gives the tissue a little more grip between the blades and helps keep it from slipping while the scissors are being closed. The Easy-Cut design is intended to give a smooth cutting action, which is useful when the scissors are being used repeatedly during a procedure.

There are straight and curved versions. The straight pattern is useful when the tissue can be approached directly, while the curved pattern gives the surgeon another option when working around structures or along a tissue plane. Both patterns are 17 cm (6¾”) long, so they provide a little more reach than the shorter Mayo pattern without becoming difficult to handle.

The longer size can be useful in procedures where the working area is not immediately at the surface. It also gives the hand some distance from the operative site while keeping the blades easy to guide.

The scissors are made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. Before they are supplied, the instruments are inspected for blade alignment, cutting action, serration, and overall finish. The stainless-steel construction also makes them suitable for cleaning and maintenance as reusable surgical instruments.

For a surgical set that needs a sturdy pair of scissors for routine tissue cutting as well as more controlled dissection, the Mayo Easy-Cut Scissors offer a straightforward option in both straight and curved patterns.
