Controlled Tenotomy Handling Across Surgical Workflows

Lillehei-Potts tenotomy scissors are designed for controlled cutting and dissection tasks where a familiar ring-handle format, straight blades, and blunt tips support deliberate instrument handling. At 7 inches overall, they provide a practical working length for organized access and manipulation in cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery settings. The blunt-tip profile can help support careful positioning during routine soft-tissue work, while the straight blade configuration offers a direct cutting path and clear orientation in the hand. Their focused design makes them a useful addition to instrument trays requiring dependable tenotomy scissors for specialty-neutral surgical workflows.

• Provide a dedicated scissors option for cardiovascular surgical instrument trays where straight-blade handling is appropriate.
• Assist plastic surgery teams with controlled cutting and tissue-handling steps requiring tenotomy scissors.
• Use the ring handle for familiar manual control during deliberate instrument positioning and cutting.
• Apply the 7-inch working length when organized reach and instrument orientation are useful within the operative field.
