Metzenbaum-Nelson 18cm 7" Curved 11-285-18

The Metzenbaum-Nelson 18cm (7") Curved Scissors are a specialized variation of the standard Metzenbaum scissors, offering a few distinct features:

Key Characteristics:

- Length: 18 cm (7 inches)

- Shape: Curved

- Purpose: Typically used for cutting soft tissue and dissection in delicate areas.

- Blade Design: These scissors have a curved blade which provides better access and control during procedures, especially when working in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.

Differences from Straight Metzenbaum Scissors:

- The curved blade allows for easier maneuvering around tissues, enabling more controlled cuts in areas where straight scissors may be less effective.

- This curve also provides enhanced visibility and precision, making it suitable for delicate surgeries where accuracy is critical.

Common Uses:

- General Surgery: In procedures where dissection and cutting of soft tissue (like fat or muscle) is needed, the Metzenbaum-Nelson curved version allows surgeons to make more controlled, fine incisions.

- Plastic Surgery: The curved design is excellent for working in tight, intricate areas.

- Gynecological or Urological Surgery: In procedures where the surgeon needs access to curved or delicate areas, the Metzenbaum-Nelson scissors offer precision and comfort.

Other Considerations:

• The longer length (18 cm) gives the surgeon greater leverage and reach, which can be helpful in deeper surgical sites or areas that require more extended access.
