Metzenbaum 16cm 6 1/2" Straight 11-285-16

The Metzenbaum 16cm 6 1/2" Straight is a type of surgical scissors commonly used in various medical procedures. The key details of this instrument include:

- Length: 16 cm (6 1/2 inches)

- Type: Straight

- Design: The Metzenbaum scissors are typically long, thin, and have relatively delicate blades. They're designed for cutting delicate tissues, often in finer, more precise surgical work.

Metzenbaum scissors are known for their ease of use when cutting soft tissue like fat, muscle, or fascia during surgery. Their fine tips allow for detailed dissection and they are less likely to cause damage to surrounding tissue compared to heavier, more robust scissors.

These are often preferred in general surgery, plastic surgery, and cardiothoracic procedures, but they can also be used in any setting where precision cutting of soft tissue is required.
