Product Overview
Originally designed for the delicate division of tendons in ophthalmic surgery (tenotomy), Stevens Scissors have become a universal standard for any procedure requiring fine dissection. The Blunt Tip configuration is specifically engineered for safety; the rounded distal ends allow the surgeon to explore and “tease” apart tissue planes without the risk of accidentally piercing underlying vessels, nerves, or membranes.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Focus” Long Shanks: Features elongated shanks and exceptionally short, delicate blades. This design provides the surgeon with a high-leverage “pencil-grip” feel, allowing for micro-adjustments in cutting angle that are impossible with standard-length scissors.
-
Atraumatic Blunt Tips: The blade tips are meticulously rounded and hand-polished. This ensures that the instrument can be used for blunt dissection—inserting the closed tips into a tissue plane and opening them—to create space without causing trauma.
-
Razor-Honed Cutting Edges: Despite their delicate size, the blades are forged with a specialized bevel that maintains a razor-sharp edge. This ensures a “single-snip” cut on fine sutures, tendons, and delicate fascia, preventing tissue fraying.
-
Precision Box Joint: Hand-fitted to ensure perfectly aligned blade travel. The tension is calibrated to be “silk-smooth,” providing the surgeon with immediate tactile feedback and reducing hand fatigue during microscopic work.
-
Professional Anti-Glare Finish: Treated with a satin finish to eliminate distracting reflections from high-intensity surgical microscopes or overhead LED lighting.
