Cardiovascular Scissors: Metzenbaum, Mayo-Harrington, Nelson and Supercut Patterns
Cardiovascular surgery needs scissors that cut cleanly in deep, delicate fields. This collection brings together 20 scissors for cardiac, vascular and thoracic work, including dissecting, vascular, lobectomy and supercut patterns. Prices start from $3.85, and every pair ships from Sialkot with worldwide delivery.
Metzenbaum and Dissecting Scissors
Metzenbaum scissors are the standard for delicate tissue dissection. The Jamison Metzenbaum Scissors are priced at $6.16, and the Metzenbaum Dissecting Scissors Curved start from $4.18. For heavier dissection, the Mayo Harrington Dissecting Scissors start from $3.96. The Toennis Dissecting Scissors start from $4.13, and the Potts Smith Dissecting Scissors at $4.18 are listed too, but are sold out at the moment.
Supercut Patterns
Supercut scissors pair one sharp blade with one micro-serrated blade, so tissue grips instead of sliding away. Choose the Super Cut Metzenbaum Dissecting Scissors at $8.25, the Super Cut Mayo Harrington Scissors at $9.24 or the Super Cut Mayo Dissecting Scissors from $8.25. We also list the Diethrich Circumflex Artery Scissors 125° and a tungsten carbide Artery Scissors Small 100mm, both sold out, so please contact us for availability.
Vascular, Cardiac and Lung Scissors
The Demartel Vascular Scissors are priced at $7.70, and the Cooley Cardiovascular Scissors start from just $3.85. For thoracic work, the Nelson Lung Dissecting Scissors are $6.16, and the Nelson Lobectomy Scissors start from $4.95. The Lilehei Potts Tenotomy Scissors are $3.85. The Satinsky vascular scissors, the Jorgenson scissors and the Crafoord Lobectomy Scissors are also listed, but are currently sold out.
Choosing the Right Scissors
Think about the tissue, the depth and the site. Metzenbaum patterns suit delicate dissection, Mayo-Harrington patterns suit heavier tissue and supercut edges help grip. Longer scissors reach deeper into the chest, and angled or curved blades follow vessels. Check each product page for sizes and options.
Finer Scissors for Vascular Work
For finer work, such as arteriotomy and coronary surgery, see our cardiovascular micro scissors. Our cardiovascular range also includes clamps, dissecting forceps, needle holders, retractors, rib shears and rib spreaders, so you can build the full tray you need.
Care and Handling
Clean scissors promptly after each case, and check that the blades meet cleanly along their full length. Use tip protectors in mixed trays, since fine edges chip easily. Replace or have sharpened any pair that no longer cuts cleanly.
