Metzenbaum scissors are used primarily for cutting delicate soft tissues and for blunt dissection. Key Features: Material: Stainless steel Design: high shank-to-blade ratio, meaning the handles are relatively long compared to the blade length, which gives reach and control in deep operative fields, delicate / fine blades, and blunt or round tips (often blunt/blunt tip configuration) to reduce unintentional tissue damage. Types: Straight Metz Scissors – to cut along relatively flat or superficial tissue planes. Curved Metz Scissors – curved blades help reach around tissues and operate in deeper or less accessible areas Tungsten Carbide: When blades are reinforced with tungsten carbide inserts, they become more durable, precise, and long-lasting compared to standard stainless steel scissors. Supercut: One blade is razor-sharp, and the other has a fine micro-serrated edge. This combination ensures smooth cutting with reduced tissue slippage.
