Rees Facelift Scissors

Description

Rees Facelift Scissors are specialist surgical implements used for facelift surgeries, commonly known as rhytidectomy.

Purpose:

• Allow for speedy and effective undermining of skin flaps during facelift surgery.
• Dissect tissues accurately, focusing on the platysma and SMAS layers (fascia).

Key Design Elements:

•  Curved blades improve mobility and give easier access to the surgical field.
• Serrated blades (one or both) enhance grip on slippery tissue, reducing slippage during dissection.
• May improve cutting efficiency.
• Tapered, flattened ends enable blunt dissection, resulting in little tissue injury.
• Improves accuracy during sensitive movements.
• Double-edged blades (saber-backed design in some models): Cuts during opening and shutting, decreasing hand strain and increasing efficiency.
• Variable blade length: Typically spans from 6.5 to 7.5 inches, allowing surgeons to select according to their preferences and procedural requirements.
• Tungsten carbide inserts (in some models): Improves blade sharpness and durability.

Benefits:

• Precise and atraumatic dissection with little tissue injury.
• Efficient cutting reduces operation time.
• Increased control over tissue manipulation.
• Ergonomic design reduces surgeon fatigue.
