Potts-Smith dissecting scissors 9 curved blades blunt tips ring handle

Controlled Curved Dissection with Extended Reach

Potts-Smith dissecting scissors are designed for controlled tissue dissection, combining curved blades with a 9-inch profile to support reach and visibility when working within a surgical field. Blunt tips help provide a less pointed blade configuration, while the ring handle supports familiar scissor handling and controlled opening and closing. This configuration can fit instrument workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery, where deliberate dissection and access are important. The instrument’s extended length may also help keep the operator’s hand farther from the immediate field while supporting precise, task-focused manipulation.

Use Cases

• Supporting controlled dissection during cardiovascular surgical workflows where curved blades and extended reach are useful.
• Performing general surgery dissection tasks that call for a familiar ring-handle scissor format.
• Assisting plastic surgery workflows requiring deliberate curved-blade dissection and access within the operative field.
• Using the blunt-tipped configuration for tasks where a less pointed scissor tip is preferred.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the curved blades, blunt tips, and ring handle before and after use for visible damage, misalignment, or compromised movement.
• Handle the blades carefully during transport, cleaning, and setup to help protect the cutting edges and tip profile.
• Store the scissors in a manner that protects the blades from contact with other instruments.
