Angled Potts-Smith Scissors for Controlled Surgical Cutting

Potts-Smith scissors are surgical scissors designed for controlled cutting and dissection where a clear view of the working area and responsive hand positioning matter. This 7-inch model features 45º angled, Superior-Cut blades with sharp tips, helping the user approach the target along a practical line while maintaining a familiar scissor action. The black ring handle supports quick visual identification during instrument handling. Its configuration suits varied workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery, where dependable access and deliberate cutting technique are important. The angled profile can also help keep the hand and handle positioned away from the immediate field during use.

Use Cases

• Controlled cutting and dissection in cardiovascular surgical workflows where an angled approach supports access to the working area.
• General surgery tasks requiring a 45º angled scissor profile and sharp tips for deliberate instrument placement.
• Plastic surgery procedures involving careful cutting in areas where approach angle and field visibility influence handling.
• Routine surgical instrument setups where the black ring handle provides quick visual recognition during selection and passing.
