Surgical Scissors 29.2 cm (11.5)

Extended Reach and Controlled Blunt Dissection for Surgical Workflows

The 11 1/2" VATS Scissors are surgical scissors intended for controlled cutting and tissue dissection in video-assisted thoracic surgery workflows. Their 10mm shaft provides an extended working profile, while the 35mm blunt blades support a measured approach when access and instrument positioning matter. This configuration can fit naturally into both cardiovascular and general surgery settings where VATS scissors are selected for task-focused cutting and dissection. The specialty-neutral design supports consistent handling across procedures, helping teams use a purpose-built instrument rather than adapting a shorter, less suitable scissor to an extended-access workflow.

Use Cases

• Cutting and dissecting tissue during video-assisted thoracic surgery workflows.
• Supporting cardiovascular surgical tasks that call for VATS scissors with an extended shaft.
• Supporting general surgery procedures requiring controlled scissor handling through an access-oriented instrument profile.
• Using the 35mm blunt blades for task-focused cutting and dissection where a blunt tip configuration is preferred.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the scissors according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the blunt blades, shaft, and overall instrument condition before and after use; remove the instrument from service if damage or abnormal function is observed.
• Handle and store the scissors to protect the blades and shaft from impact, bending, or contact with other instruments.
