Mayo Scissor, 17 cm Left-Hand Straight

HK Medical Instruments 17 cm Left-Hand Straight Mayo Scissor is built so left-handed veterinarian can work with the same direct cutting line and blade visibility that right-handed veterinarian expect from a standard straight Mayo.

• Left-handed geometry for a natural grip
• Blunt/blunt tips for conservative tissue work
• Autoclave & Reusable
• Premium quality stainless steel build for routine packs
• Heavy Mayo build for fascia, sutures and firm tissue

How do I identify this as a left-handed scissor??

When held with the tips up, a left-handed scissor has its top blade and ring positioned for the left hand. Suppliers also label left-handed instruments to prevent substitution.

Is the left-hand straight model used differently from the right-handed one?

The surgical role is the same: cutting sutures, fascia and firm tissue. The difference is ergonomic, giving left-handed vet surgeons natural control and blade visibility.
