Kelly Scissors B-27 and B-28 – General Surgical Dissecting Scissors

Named after Howard Kelly, the pioneering gynaecological surgeon, Kelly scissors are a versatile workhorse in the surgical instrument set. The B Martin B-27 and B-28 are manufactured in surgical-grade stainless steel with finely ground blades that maintain their edge through repeated autoclaving cycles. The straight B-27 is suited to cutting in direct, accessible planes; the curved B-28 follows natural tissue contours and allows improved visibility during dissection. The balanced ring-handle design distributes force evenly, reducing hand fatigue during long procedures. Both are individually inspected and sharpness-tested before dispatch.

Applications & Clinical Uses

Kelly scissors are used for general soft-tissue dissection and cutting in general surgery, gynaecology, obstetrics, orthopaedics, and urology. The curved B-28 variant is particularly useful for dissecting around tubular structures, separating tissue planes, and working in deep operative fields.
