Operating Scissors B-40 to B-43 – Straight Sharp/Blunt

Sharp/blunt operating scissors are the versatile workhorse of the surgical instrument set. The sharp upper blade provides the cutting edge; the blunt lower blade glides safely under tissue, protecting underlying structures from accidental injury during the cutting stroke. This makes the S/B pattern the preferred choice in dissection close to blood vessels, nerves, and hollow viscera where a fully sharp scissors would carry unnecessary risk. The straight pattern of the B-40 to B-43 gives direct, unobstructed access for surface and fascial work. Four lengths — 14 cm, 15.5 cm, 17 cm, and 19 cm — ensure the right reach for every patient and procedure. All are manufactured in surgical-grade stainless steel with a satin finish and individually tested.

Applications & Clinical Uses

Used in general surgery, gynaecology, and vascular surgery wherever controlled cutting near sensitive structures is required. The blunt blade protects underlying vessels and nerves during tissue division, making this the standard choice for dissection in vascular pedicles, peritoneal incisions, and tissue-plane development.
