Kelly 16cm Straight Scissors
16 cm straight Kelly scissors with tungsten carbide inserts, designed for precise linear cutting and dissection of soft and fibrous tissues in surgical procedures.
Key Features:
• 16 cm overall length for controlled access to deeper operative fields
• Straight blade alignment supports accurate linear tissue division
• Long shanks with short blades enhance reach while maintaining tip precision
• Sharp/sharp pointed tips allow precise dissection and incision extension
• Fine-serrated lower blade improves tissue grip during cutting strokes
• Tungsten carbide (TC) inserts provide extended edge life and cutting performance
• Gold-colored finger rings enable rapid identification of TC instrumentation
• Suitable for fascial, peritoneal, gingival, and general soft-tissue procedures
The Kelly 16cm Straight Scissors measure 16 cm in total length and carry straight blades running in complete axial alignment, terminating in sharp-pointed tips on both blade ends. The short blade section sits on a long shank, a ratio that extends reach into deeper wound fields while keeping tip movement controlled during each cutting pass. Tungsten carbide inserts are bonded to both cutting edges; one blade runs a smooth face while the opposing blade carries fine serrations for controlled tissue grip. Gold-colored finger rings identify TC fitting on the surgical tray.
The straight blade path transmits hand force directly along the axial line without angular deflection, the full blade length contacts the target tissue simultaneously, delivering a clean linear cut in a single stroke. Forceps Kelly – straight – 16 cm instruments work on flat tissue planes where a curved blade would drive the tip off the straight incision path and require additional passes to complete the cut.
Kelly Scissors Straight 16cm instruments are used by general surgeons during open laparotomy to extend fascial incisions, divide fibrous adhesion bands, and cut peritoneal tissue along straight margins. Gynecologists select this instrument for episiotomy incision extension and vaginal tissue division during instrumental delivery procedures. Periodontists also use the Kelly 16cm Straight Scissors for straight-line gingival margin incisions during full-arch crown lengthening cases where the incision must run parallel to the gingival line across multiple teeth simultaneously.
Leader Surgical stocks both straight and curved Kelly configurations to the same TC bonding and blade specification, giving surgical teams the full instrument pair from a single source without compromising performance consistency between the two variants.
What does “16cm Straight” specify?
It refers to the overall length of the instrument (16cm or ~6.3 inches) and its straight jaw design, which is ideal for surface procedures or easily visible areas.
