Laparoscopic Metzenbaum Scissors

Description

Laparoscopic Metzenbaum scissors are a specialist surgical tool used in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries.

Purpose:

• Designed to cut tissue during laparoscopic surgery.
• The Metzenbaum scissor design provides accurate dissection capabilities.

Types:

• Reusable: Made of high-quality stainless steel that must be reprocessed, sterilized, and sharpened after each use. Reusable laparoscopic scissors are a cost-effective choice, particularly for high-volume surgery clinics. Require more staff time and resources for cleaning and upkeep.
• Disposable: Pre-sterilized and ready for use in single-patient operations. Eliminating the requirement for reprocessing reduces expenses and infection concerns. Note: Can be more pricey than reusable alternatives.

Features:

• Shaft diameter: Typically 5mm to accommodate laparoscopic cannulas (insertion tubes).
• Shaft length: varies according to surgeon discretion, but is often approximately 33cm or 45cm for reaching within the belly.
• Ergonomic handle design enables comfortable manipulation during operation.
• Jaw design: Classic Metzenbaum with curved blades for angled cutting and better vision.
• Multiple cutting mechanisms: Jaw layouts may vary depending on whether vertical or horizontal cutting is preferred.

Benefits:

• Minimally invasive surgery leads to speedier patient recovery and less scarring.
  Improved dexterity: The articulated design enables accurate moving inside the laparoscopic area.
• Enhanced visualization: When compared to conventional open surgery, this method provides greater access and visibility.
• Versatility: Can be utilized for a variety of laparoscopic surgeries according on the surgeon’s need.
