Mayo-stille Dissecting Scissors T/C Insert B/B (Str.)

The Mayo-stille Dissecting & Gynecological Scissors T/C Insert B/B (Str.) is available in four lengths: 15 cm, 17 cm, 19.5 cm, and 21 cm, all carrying straight blades with blunt/blunt rounded tips and a heavy-pattern blade cross-section. Tungsten carbide inserts are bonded to both blade cutting edges, and gold-plated finger rings identify TC fitting on the surgical tray. The frame is built from premium-grade surgical stainless steel, autoclave-compatible, and the satin finish reduces glare under operating lights.

Mayo Stille Dissecting Scissors straight-bladed profile helps to cut superficial tissues and sutures, the axial blade path delivers undeflected direct force along flat tissue planes, which curved blades cannot replicate without repositioning. The blunt/blunt tip configuration allows surgeons to probe and separate tissue layers without risk of inadvertent puncture from either blade tip, while TC inserts maintain cutting sharpness through the high-frequency suture cutting demands that straight Mayo scissors handle across every surgical specialty.

Mayo Dissecting Scissors straight configuration are used as utility scissors to cut sutures, steri-strips, and electrodes across a broad range of surgical procedures. Scrub nurses and surgeons rely on the Mayo-stille Dissecting & Gynecological Scissors T/C Insert B/B (Str.) as the primary suture-cutting instrument across general surgery, cardiac surgery, and orthopedic cases, where dozens of suture cuts per case quickly dull non-TC blades. Gynecologists use the straight variant for cutting and trimming sutures during open hysterectomy and cesarean closure, and for dividing superficial fascial layers during abdominal wall entry before the deeper dissection phase begins.

General and gynecological surgical trays that source the full Mayo-Stille range from Leader Surgical get both straight and curved B/B TC variants built to the same specification, a single manufacturer delivering consistent TC bonding, blade geometry, and tip finish across every size in the range.

When should I use the straight (Str.) version?
Straight blades are ideal for cutting tissues near the wound surface or for trimming sutures and dressing materials. For deep, curved anatomical access, the curved variant is typically preferred.
