Extended Curved Reach for Controlled Dissection

Potts-Smith dissecting scissors are 12-inch surgical scissors designed for dissecting tasks where extended reach and a curved blade profile support controlled access. The curved blades help the user approach tissue and structures along a more natural working line, while the blunt tips are suited to workflows that call for deliberate handling. A ring handle supports familiar scissor manipulation during procedural work. In cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery settings, this configuration can help organize dissection steps across open operative fields while maintaining a practical balance of reach, visibility, and instrument control.

Use Cases

• Support dissection and tissue-separation tasks in cardiovascular procedures where extended length can help reach working areas.
• Use in general surgery workflows requiring a curved dissecting instrument for controlled access across an open operative field.
• Apply during plastic surgery procedures when a long, curved scissor format is appropriate for planned dissection work.
• Use the ring handle for familiar opening and closing movements during routine surgical instrument handling.

Care & Handling

• Clean the scissors according to facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the curved blades, blunt tips, pivot, and ring handle for residue, damage, alignment, or restricted movement before use.
• Handle the blades carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the cutting edges and blunt tips.
• Store in a clean, dry location with the instrument protected from contact that could affect blade alignment or surface condition.
