Mayo Dissecting Scissors 5 1/2" Curved TC

Controlled Curved Dissection for General Surgery

Mayo Dissecting Scissors 5 1/2" Curved TC are surgical scissors designed for dissecting tasks in general surgery. Their curved blade shape supports a practical cutting orientation when working along tissue planes or around anatomical structures, while the 5.5" overall length provides a balance of access and handling in the operative field. The dissecting design is suited to precise tissue separation and controlled cutting techniques. Tungsten carbide construction supports a durable cutting surface for routine instrument use, helping teams maintain consistent handling throughout preparation and surgical workflows.

Use Cases

• Dissecting tissue during general surgical procedures.
• Separating tissue planes with the curved blade oriented to the working field.
• Accessing and trimming tissue where a 5.5" instrument length is appropriate.
• Supporting controlled cutting and dissection tasks within a general surgery instrument set.
