Metzenbaum-Nelson Scissor, 18 cm Curved

HK Medical Instruments Metzenbaum-Nelson Scissor modifies the classic Metzenbaum pattern with a sharp lower blade and blunt upper blade. The sharp edge bites into firmer soft tissue more decisively than a blunt/blunt pair, while the blunt top blade still protects the tissue above the cutting plane.

The 18 cm curved profile keeps tips visible during deeper dissection, making the Nelson variant a useful bridge between delicate Metzenbaum work and heavier Mayo cutting. Choose it when blunt/blunt scissors skate on resilient tissue but a full Mayo feels excessive, and confirm blade orientation during inspection before each use.

• Sharp/blunt blades for firmer soft tissue
• Premium quality stainless steel
• Autoclave & Reusable
• Blunt upper blade protects tissue above
• Ergonomic design for reduced hand friction

How is Metzenbaum-Nelson different from standard Metzenbaum?

The Nelson pattern has one sharp blade instead of two blunt tips, giving a more decisive cut on resilient tissue while keeping a dissecting profile.

When should I reach for the Nelson instead of a Mayo?

When tissue is too firm for blunt/blunt Metzenbaum but a heavy Mayo would be excessive; the Nelson offers an intermediate cutting action.
