Metzenbaum-Nelson Operating Scissors T/C Insert S/B Cvd
The Metzenbaum-Nelson Operating Scissors T/C Insert S/B Cvd. is available in six lengths: 18 cm, 20 cm, 23 cm, 25 cm, 28 cm, and 30 cm, all carrying curved blades in a sharp/blunt tip pairing: upper blade sharp-pointed, lower blade rounded blunt. The Nelson body features extra-long handles with short blades, keeping the handle clear above deep wound surfaces. Tungsten carbide inserts are bonded to both cutting edges, gold-colored finger rings identify TC fitting, and the full frame is medical-grade surgical stainless steel.
The S/B configuration features one extra-sharp blade and micro-serrations on the opposing blade — ideal for cutting soft tissues without tearing while the blunt tip provides an atraumatic dissection surface. The blunt lower tip advances safely beneath delicate structures while the sharp upper blade divides tissue in a single pass. TC Nelson-Metzenbaum Scissors Cvd instruments combine tissue protection and tissue cutting without switching instruments between steps.
TC Metzenbaum Nelson Scissors 8″ Curved instruments are suited for thoracic procedures, delivering superb control during dissection with less hand fatigue. Cardiovascular surgeons use the Metzenbaum-Nelson Operating Scissors T/C Insert S/B Cvd. during coronary bypass grafting to dissect around pericardial reflections where the blunt tip protects adjacent vessels. Thoracic surgeons select the 25 cm and 28 cm variants for lung hilum dissection, while colorectal surgeons reach for the 30 cm variant during deep pelvic lateral ligament division.
Leader Surgical provides the full S/B Nelson range across all six lengths, giving surgical teams both protective and cutting capability at every depth of the operative field, from a single trusted source.
What are the gold handles for?
The gold plating on the finger rings indicates that the scissors have Tungsten Carbide (T/C) inserts. These inserts are significantly harder than standard stainless steel, providing a sharper edge that lasts up to six times longer before needing professional sharpening.
