Mayo Scissors, Straight, 14 cm

HK Medical Instruments 14 cm Straight Mayo Scissors give veterinary doctors a compact, robust cutting instrument for routine surgical work. The short overall length keeps the finger rings close to the working site, supporting deliberate hand control in small-animal procedures and other superficial fields where a longer scissor may feel cumbersome.

Straight Mayo Scissor Available Sizes:

• 15cm / 6"
• 17 cm / 6 ¾"
• 23 cm / 9"

The straight blade path is well suited to direct cutting of sutures, surgical material, fascia and firm tissue that does not require a delicate dissecting pattern. It's length measures 14 cm (5 ¾"). Use a separate instrument for wire or other materials that can damage a surgical cutting edge, and select finer Metzenbaum scissors when working with delicate soft tissue.

What are Mayo scissors used for in veterinary surgery?

Mayo scissors are used to cut dense tissue, fascia and surgical material. Straight patterns are often used for sutures or material, while curved patterns are commonly used for deeper tissue dissection.

What is the difference between Mayo and Metzenbaum scissors?

Mayo scissors have heavier blades for dense tissue and fascia. Metzenbaum scissors have a more delicate profile intended for fine soft-tissue dissection.
