Stevens Tenotomy Scissors B-14 & B-15 – Sharp & Blunt
Stevens Tenotomy Scissors are small, finely-tapered scissors designed for delicate tendon and tissue division. Originally developed for ophthalmic tenotomy, they are now a standard instrument in fine general, ENT, and plastic surgery. B Martin supplies the Stevens in both sharp-tip (B-14) and blunt-tip (B-15) patterns.
The Stevens scissor has a characteristic short narrow blade and a long tapered shank, which gives the surgeon excellent reach and visibility when working in a small, confined field. The sharp-tip version (B-14) is preferred when the tips themselves must cut into tissue; the blunt-tip version (B-15) is used when the scissor must be slid along a tissue plane without risk of perforation — for example around vessels or nerves. Both patterns measure 11 cm / 4¼” and are supplied in surgical-grade stainless steel with precision cutting edges. Fully autoclavable and reusable.
Applications & Clinical Uses
Stevens scissors are used in ophthalmic tenotomy and strabismus surgery, in fine ENT and oral surgical dissection, in plastic and reconstructive fine cutting, and in any procedure where small precise blades with a tapered shank are needed.
