Metzenbaum Dissecting Scissors are surgical scissors designed for cutting delicate tissue and performing blunt dissection. This 5.75″ (14.6cm) curved version has rounded, blunt tips and a long shank-to-blade ratio, letting surgeons safely probe and separate tissue around organs and neurovascular structures without cutting into surrounding anatomy.

Product Overview

The VS Surgico Metzenbaum Dissecting Scissors, 5.75″ (14.6cm) curved, are built for delicate tissue dissection and blunt separation work in general, plastic, and abdominal surgery, as well as veterinary procedures. The curved blade profile with rounded, blunt tips allows the surgeon to probe between tissue planes and separate structures without damaging nearby organs, vessels, or nerves.

A long shank-to-blade ratio gives extra reach for deeper dissection while maintaining precision, and the slim, delicate blade design is suited to fine tissue work where control matters more than cutting force. The ring handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip for extended use during longer procedures.

Manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel, these scissors are fully autoclavable and built to hold a stable edge across repeated sterilization cycles.
